Dametreus Ward is the name, the Artist & CEO of Meech213. Owner of MeechStudios. Based in Los Angeles and relocating to New York fall 2026.

My mission is to deliver high fashion/beauty artistically, while providing excellent personal attention and demonstrating a unique experience for each and every client.

I want to share something with you. I'm often asked this question when people see my work: "What made you get into this?" Well, when I was younger, my mother loved taking photographs of the family; she would always ask to take a photo, and like most kids, we (my brothers and I) would get in front of the camera. When I would look at the photographs, I always felt like something could be improved. At a very young age, I remember telling my mother that I disliked the photos and that I believed I could do a better job. I am a perfectionist by heart, and I love my craft.

As a teenager, I had several digital cameras that I would use. One day, I told myself that I should save up for a professional camera, and become a professional photographer who makes a difference with my work. Well, I have put that thought into life and sure enough, I saved enough money to get me a pro-calibre type of camera, the Canon Rebel XSI at the time. My first experience using the camera was at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where several friends and I, in a summer program, had decided to test it out.
