We recently connected with Jordan Tritton and have shared our conversation below.
Jordan, appreciate you joining us today. Earning a full time living from one’s creative career can be incredibly difficult. Have you been able to do so and if so, can you share some of the key parts of your journey and any important advice or lessons that might help creatives who haven’t been able to yet?
When I first got into Photography, I was doing portraits and events. Over time, I thought to myself that getting more into commercial photography and real estate might be a good call considering the demand for that as well. I tried it out with my skills in portraiture and realized I had to quickly adapt to new camera settings and gear to make things work for the other types of photography, and people started noticing. My advice for anyone trying this, look up tutorials and see how quickly you can learn and practice whatever it is you’re trying to get into.
Jordan, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’ve always been into filmmaking for a long time. We’re talking in the early 2000s. I got my first camcorder in 2005, a time when I would shoot home-videos for fun and nothing more, and the rest is history. I got my first DSLR camera in 2014, upgraded to a pro-grade camera in 2015, moved to Los Angeles from Santa Barbara in 2016 and i’ve been going at it professionally ever since. My passion for photography was fueled by the fact that I could take photos with a camera that was meant for my Filmography. Excelling at Photography propelled my Cinematography to bigger levels. I increased my client list by getting involved with a “handyman” app that my first-ever roommate in LA was already a part of for a completely different industry. The problems I solve for my clients are by simply trying to be the best experience they’ve ever had for a photography/ or video related project. I think what sets me aside if my eagerness to succeed in a project and my very reasonable prices, which some fellow pro’s have called me crazy for. As of right now, i’m very proud of the ranking that I have on the platform I’m a part of, along with my 8 years of a portfolio that only continues to grow. It’s amazing to look back on. What I want my future clients to know is that I will forever want to be your go-to person for all your visual arts needs. As for my fans, i’m going to always try my best to give you something amazing to look at while you’re scrolling down your social media app.
Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
I wish I got into Photography/ DSLRs sooner, along with the products of Adobe. When I first began with video, I was on Final Cut Pro but eventually pivoted to Premiere, which led to all of the other Adobe suite products that fit my needs.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
A goal of mine is to have very influential people want to do sessions with me. In other words, get on the level of Annie Leibovitz.
