Meet Rodney P. Caz | The Creator & Photographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rodney P. Caz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rodney, why did you pursue a creative career?
Honestly it came to me naturally. I am known as Caz, the photographer but I am so much more. I am a model, a creative director , a stylist/designer which made me pursue my creative career. I attend the art institute of Atlanta where I study media arts & animation which lead me into my creative outlet. While being there I begin to tap into modeling & styling heavily which opened other doors and avenues. I was able to take animation and fashion harmoniously merging them together sketching clothing design and artsy concepts. I was able to bring my vision to for wishing modeling for the brand cease and desist while also styling for bagaeast around the same time. I continued my grind getting booked for a major styling gig right here in my home town which lead me to getting behind the camera. Now here I am , a full time photographer, being a Studio manager at studio21 atl.

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
My personal style of photographer is frame work I always find the angle and get the shot. My main thing I want to be known for is my personal style of creating black and white (Grey) photos.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The first place I would take someone is the High museum I get inspired by all the art and artifacts. My go to spot for good eats I would have to say, would be Old Lady Gang.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Of course my recognition would have to go to my Mother. She has been supportive through every trial and tribulation from drawing as a kid to becoming a full time photographer she’s been there to help me see it through. A big shoutout has to go to my Siblings for always supporting my goals & for never giving up on me and to the studio that helped me make my visions clearer(Studio 21 Atlanta) Bdot Wilkins, Royal Eyez, Jordyn Ari. Thank You.
