![]() ![]() It is not easy and it is not for everyone I truly believe that and will continue to preach it. I have spent my entire career as a full-time photographer and designer as a full-time student and working full-time up until August of 2018 when I was finally pushed into taking the leap to make this thing my main hustle! It is still crazy to think about. Almost all of my shoots were down before class, before events, or before or after work. At least 95% of every session I did in the past was edited in the wee hours of the morning. I WISH I could say it has been a super smooth road, but the things worthwhile are never easy. Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome? ![]() This began with on-campus events, senior photos of my friends, and photos of my family members and their babies and is now a full-time endeavor. I truly believe the way I got to where I am today is by the support of the people around me trusting me, promoting me, and giving me opportunities to practice. All I had was a hand-me-down Nikon camera with a starter lens (I now shoot Canon and Canon only!) but I was so deeply passionate about being successful as an entrepreneur that I made it work until I could afford to upgrade. A mentor of mine let me know that as a creative in this industry camera skills and photography techniques would be incredibly beneficial. I was fiercely studying graphic design and was specifically interested in advertising. To take the story back in time a bit, it REALLY began when I was a student at Dallas Baptist. One opportunity to shoot an event and then another to shoot a portrait session and then one huge opportunity to shoot a friend’s wedding to catapult me into my career as a photographer. ![]() Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Stone.Īlex, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. ![]()
