Interview with Flemings Photography (@flemingsphotography)
Thank you so much for joining us! What brought you to this specific career path?
Photography has always been a passion. I’ve always wanted to take pictures , I’ve always wanted to educate others. I’ve always wanted to build a platform that benefited others. Just was not sure how to make it a career. So many countless hours on YouTube, tons of money invested. And just having a drive to be great at something, I knew I was not going to give up until my goal of becoming a celebrity wedding photographer was reached.
Can you share the most interest in exciting things that have happened to you since you started doing this?
One of the most highlighted times of my photography journey Has to be the time I was hired to shoot an event, sponsored by lobos tequila, and LeBron James, Kevin, love Paul Revere, Carmelo, Anthony, and other respectable names in the industry, were in attendance. At that very moment I felt like hard work has definitely paid off.
Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them thrive and not “burn out”?
You can’t give up and you have to stay consistent. No matter if you feel things are out of reach or they are not turning out as you please. You can’t give up and you have to stay consistent
We can only succeed with some help along the way. Is there a particular person you are grateful to who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story?
My friends and family have definitely boosted my confidence. My kids are a driving force definitely. My oldest son De’Sean will always hype me up when needed.
How have you used your success to bring goodness to the world?
That’s the thing. My job is to document love stories as a wedding photographer. These clients will hold on-to these images for a lifetime and then will get passed down from generation to generation. My work will always be alive. And lastly I’ve opened myself up to educate others that have gave thoughts to becoming a wedding photographer.
Do you have a favourite “written Quote”? Can you share a story of how that was relevant to you in your life?
“The mystery of human existence lies not in, just staying alive but in finding something to live for” for me this speaks volume. Find your purpose in life and enjoy it. And this is what I do with photography.
