I spend half my time walking down the street just looking around,? says 20-year-old photography student Malike Sidibe (@malikesidibe). ?When I?m creating, I try to go out of my comfort zone. Do something I?ve never done just to see where it takes me.? At 13, Malike moved from a strict household in Guinea to the US, without speaking a word of English. ?When I first moved, I never knew that I was interested in becoming a photographer, but it was something I?ve always appreciated,? says Malike. ?My dad wants me to be a cab driver, but I?ve decided to follow my dream of becoming a fashion photographer instead. I feel like my whole goal is to show my little brothers: don?t be afraid to try anything you want. You have the freedom to do so.? #WhereIComeFrom Watch our story to see more of Malike?s portrait photography.
