[Gallery] Top Down: Tampa

SHOOT COORDINATED BY ALEX AUGUSTE

Top Down: Tampa is a collaboration idea that merged together a few concepts. The first, was the idea of delivering a creative approach for Turo drivers in the Tampa area. If you're not familiar with Turo, it's the "AirB&B of Cars", allowing hosts to create income by renting their cars to app users who are visiting an area.

As an upcoming Turo host myself, I wanted to explore what it would be like to create a car commercial feel, giving visuals to what it would look like to drive through Downtown Tampa and explore Tampa with the top down on my 2017 Buick Cascada.

Joining me in the project was Queen Sandii, a Make Up Artist and close friend who collaborated with me on a more recent project in December during our second Tampa Link Up event.

Watch: Kid Cudi - She Knows This (Visuals)

Mixing this approach with the sounds of Kid Cudi's "She Knows This" (Man on the Moon III: The Chosen One), the end product has brought to life two visuals that give the speed and energy of the tune, a feature-heavy 360 view of the car, and a sexy and luxurious feel provided by Sandii herself.

As of today, I've released the visual that was shot on the Sony aVII 6400. Later this week, I'll be releasing a second version that was shot with my trusty Google Pixel 4a.
