We had the good fortune of connecting with Gerald Holmes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gerald, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I’m am originally from Flint, Michigan born and raised. I come from an athletic background so I always had that competing edge even being from flint added that extra grit. I was always into sports, which taught me a lot. Mainly how to overcome obstacles and stay the course. Focusing on the process and the grind. That has led me into growing my personal brand as an artist/photographer! Creating something for artist and non artist that empowers them to be who they are now don’t wait for someone to tell you. Live like the best version of yourself even when socially you not their. LetEmKno! LetEmKno which is my brand name, that’s what it’s all about!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a photographer/artist who shoots everything, buys specializes in lifestyle photography mixed with music artist and models What got me where I am today is the work I put in, but also the relationships I have built over the course of my life.
The path definitely wasn’t easy, still not easy. Long nights,early mornings. Moving on from people you care about but knowing that they can’t aid in my growth. I created a multi media brand called LetEmKno! And behind the brand is that to have the mindset to showcase yourself now as the person you want to be in the future! LetEmKno who you are even if ppl don’t see what you see!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The Belt line, there is always good amount of people coming in and out! I this it’s a great place for dates, meeting new people great food, etc. that might be my favorite place in Atlanta.
