About Lorenzo Diggins Jr.
While the fashion masses are intent on being "different" and complicated Lorenzo Diggins Jr. is set on keeping it simple. His eye for detail and commitment to the smaller elements of a garment or product is a rarity in the fashion world. Who else finds joy in buffalo horn buttons on a shirt? Or sees the sheer beauty in a well constructed pair of selvage denim? This eye for detail, the penchant for quality and desire to keep it simple, is what has breed his lifestyle blog turned brand, The Essential Man (TEM), and has garnered notice and respect in his world of contemporary men’s fashion.
With such an eye for detail and a creative background of knowing what looks good, it is no wonder that Diggins has excelled in his approach to photography. After several lack luster photo shoots for his company, Diggins humbly decided to pick up a camera and take a stab at creating exactly what he was looking for. What initially started as a forced hobby, to create images for his brand that were truly representative of his vision, has blossomed into a bonafide segment of his career. He takes the same approach to his photography, paying close attention to the details that truly make an image come together. Diggins has the innate ability to achieve simplicity in the most complex backgrounds, focusing on the humanity and heart of whatever and whomever he is capturing.
