Could you please tell our readers a brief background about yourself and how you started your business? Can you describe your journey to success? When did you start?

My love affair with print and photography started way back in my elementary school days. Whenever I had a day off from school, I joined my father at work. He was a printer, so I was exposed to magazines, photos, and graphics at an early age.

Fast forward, 20 years later, and I was delving into my passions for creative arts, photography, and film while studying in Montreal. I decided to focus on photography and started working at an advertising agency, as a photographer. This is where I sharpened my graphic skills and eventually became a partner, which introduced me to the world of business. As they say, the rest is history!

As an artist, I have developed my own signature style photographs, which are each made with love. My latest, Vision Portraits, was birthed from my own transformational journey, which led me to create a groundbreaking approach to photography. I became to be the World’s Leading Edge Award-Winning Vision Portrait Photographer, who uses photography not to capture memories, but rather to capture Vision images.

How did your business stand out? How did your brand stand out from the rest of the other brands out there that is similar to your niche?

My business stands out because we have a very unique distinctive, made-to-measure signature style branding. The vision was to brand ourselves in the image all the greats such as Andy Warhol, Picasso or Monet to name a few. You could easily recognize their work by their distinctive style, so I incorporated the same principles into my brand. As a result, it paid off big time, we stood out and created our own signature style photographs, by going away from fake cheesy smiles and bringing out personality and character in our portraits.

If you could go back in a time machine to the time when you were just getting started, what would you do differently?

I would have gotten a mentor early on and invested all I had in personal development rather than branded purses, parties, and other nonsense stuff.
