Meet Shawty Raw…Whiskey Pete…Cory…Koolazzp (on Instagram)…also known as Adrian Peterson. His sense of humor will activate anyone’s happy side, and his pictures play the same role.

Read more about him and check out his work below. Enjoy round two of the Picture Perfect series.


1. What is your favorite subject to photograph?

Mother nature! Landscaping, sunsets, birds, oceans…its my favorite because it's the purest form of art, in my opinion.

2. Whose work has influenced you most?

Ben Gordon, Will (@notsaww), Darryl Green, Obscura Lux (Cheryl McCain), Shocks Back (Sam). They have gave me a-lot of game and tips! I really appreciate them and their advice! 

3. What is your influence/inspiration for taking pictures? 

My inspiration comes from God and the universe, which lead me to create PeterLock Photos. PeterLock is Peterson/Medlock put together. Its my father and mother last names. They showed me the world of art, photography, creativity, and how be a leader. I'm also influenced by great photographers!

4. What projects are you working on ... or would like to work on?

I'm working on getting PeterLock, LLC. up and running with the wife. She’s an inspiration as well. We got some ideas cooking up in the pot. I always wanted to get photos of Jacksonville, Florida from my views…places I’ve hung and chilled out at. I want to show the beauty in the hood.
