Otto Magazine follows the desire to share the arts with the world we are all creatives and visionaries getting our voices out there. Together as Otto we bring a bond not drawn by blood but by the passion that drives us to excel together as a family within a community of the arts. As individuals we took control over how we were going to perceive our lives. No expectation is dragging us down with their standards on what to do, how to be, and tell us who we are. Within us we are musicians that are just trying to make that melody or beat that's going to help us through the child’s play and or uphill battles we face with ourselves every minute of our lives. Our motion is a dancing paradox continuing to aspire into greatness going through phases while our qualities thicken, starts to fill us in. The synch flow of our minds to our bodies and move to where your partner is now the music and your just matching, chasing that beat and or melody. We are all poets who indulge our love for diction through sentimentally valuing words and expression, we morph feeling into word. As writers that have expressive tendencies pour out what is not meant to be kept in our conscious locked away for others not to understand and connect with. Myself will be documenting the journey of Otto with the use of my provided senses consuming the environment writing with a catchers view of individuals that show self empowerment no matter what skin display the picture captures. My niche is to capture their energies behind the frame. To share our appreciation of life through our infatuation of the mastery of talent we hold .Another document that withole the power within lenses, perspective vivid action through angles, interaction with our leading models, that expose this realism of humanity, our photographers hold that field of vision where appearance becomes not only a pleasure to the eyes. As the future generation we want to not focus on the corruption of the world but what reflected from it the beauty that prospered from this hatred and violence that was home convey sensitivity towards one another because we are all in this together & THIS IS US …

TO BE POWERFUL...
we had this shoot on February 22nd, 2019. it was a crazy day trying to get the hotel room in NoMo SoHo, but everything ended up working out beautifully. i wanted a shoot that showed how proud we are to be together for OTTO, and how proud/comfortable we are in our own skin. we're fierce, we're strong, we're beautiful inside and out, we're confident, we are ourselves. the one year anniversary for OTTO is coming up pretty soon as well, so we took the day to appreciate our journey, drink some wine & bump old school r&b. otto forever. - tiff
