"Paintin' vivid pictures."
INTRODUCTION
Greetings, my name is Simo. I am a 22 year old black video game/virtual world photographer and videographer born and raised in Guyana. I believe my purpose on this planet is to simply create. Video games are merely the beginning medium for expression, but it's far from the end goal.
"outrésimo"
"Outré is an adjective used to describe something that is very strange, unusual, or shocking—often to the point of being bizarre, eccentric, or over the top.""Simo" is an abbreviation of my birth name.
NO AI
My work is authentically crafted using both in-game and external photo tools aswell as editorial resources such as: Photoshop, Procreate, and Lightroom. There is no use of AI.
PROCESS
Music plays a major role in the process and outcome of my photos. I just hit play on my favorite playlists and allow the music and emotions to guide me, it's as simple as that. The process is really just me observing my inner-child create, I guess my role is to just be the DJ.My ideas all stem from my taste in music and a naturally playful nature, which is why my portfolio often reflects a sense of diversity and cinematography.
CONNECT
Majority of my work is spread across many platforms, so you may notice a few gaps. Not everything I create gets published. Some projects are still waiting for their right time window, while others remain private for personal reasons.
But with that being said, I do hope you enjoy the pieces that have made their way out into the world. I'm always grateful for any genuine support, and rest assured it will always be felt and reciprocated.
