We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Samuel Alphonse. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Samuel below.

Samuel, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start big picture – what are some of biggest trends you are seeing in your industry?

The biggest trend I’m seeing in photography now is most people are following the same mindset and never understand the value of originality and communication. It’s very disturbing to see so much potential out here but no difference or impact in photography and the modeling industry. All I see is arguments and drama on how many followers they have on Instagram or TikTok, how much money they make or how popular they are and it’s never about that. It’s about you being the artist, what creative ideas can you do and knowing how to talk to people.

Samuel, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Samuel Alphonse. I’m a photographer right here in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I’m the founder of Image Revive Photography. Ive been a photographer for 5 years. I started right after my Dad died. After God, photography was the only thing that kept me going and disciplined after his death. What set me apart from other photographers is putting God first in every outcome in my life why? Because I can’t do nothing without his wisdom to my direction, his strength to my endurance, his patiences to my process and his motion of humbleness to my encouragement. God is everything and I give him thanks for all he has done in my life. Second is knowing how to capture stories with my craft. There’s many photographers that takes pictures but there’s few that knows how to capture stories. Im very passionate about the meaning behind every picture I take, the substance it holds and the impact that changes people’s mindset of their selves.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect that I get in Photography is the love that create loyalty from my clients and the timeless moments from their expressions.

Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

I wish someone set down with me and explain to me how to function, strategize and understand the aspects of running a business.
