We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Alexis Maddin a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Alexis, thanks for joining us today. We love asking folks what they would do differently if they were starting today – how they would speed up the process, etc. We’d love to hear how you would set everything up if you were to start from step 1 today.
Looking back I definitely would have chosen to go to film school instead of pursuing a medical path. I feel like I would be much further along in my career, because I had to learn the art and skills on my on.
Alexis, 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?
I am Alexis, and I was born and raised in Memphis, TN. After receiving my bachelors degree at the University of Memphis my original career plan was to become a physical therapist. However, after graduating I found a new and exciting passion for photography and graphic design!
I take my craft very serious, and pride myself on delivering top quality work. As a self-taught photographer, I am always looking to add to my knowledge. I have been privileged to learn from some amazing photographers over the years. I have also had the opportunity to work many established and upcoming brands, music artist, entrepreneurs, etc.
Although my company SA Media is based in Memphis, TN I am open and willing to travel and capture your timeless moments.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
The best source of new clients for me has been my previous clients referring people they know to me. I am big on providing my clients a very easy and pleasant experience, and I believe that’s why so many people refer me to their friends and loved ones. It also helps that I deliver high quality work.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
It’s always rewarding to see my work in places that I never thought it would reach. I’ve had my work on billboard’s, cover art, magazines, etc. It’s also rewarding to see how my clients react to seeing the finished product, they are always so appreciative of the work that I put into their project.
