We were lucky to catch up with Anthony Edwards recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Anthony , thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

I first discovered my passion for the creative arts at a young age. Throughout my childhood, I found immense joy and fulfillment in expressing myself through various artistic mediums. Whether it was painting, drawing, or even writing stories, I was captivated by the ability to communicate emotions and ideas visually. As I grew older, I realized that my love for the arts was not just a fleeting interest but a calling. It became clear to me that I wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally, as it would allow me to merge my innate talents with my genuine passion. This realization motivated me to dedicate myself to honing my skills, seeking formal education, and immersing myself in diverse artistic experiences. Today, I am grateful to have transformed my passion into a career, where I continuously strive to grow, learn, and contribute to the dynamic world of creativity.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Here’s a refined version of your “About Me” section:

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Film from Full Sail University, which has played a pivotal role in shaping my professional journey. Since 2015, I have been dedicated to refining my craft and working as a photographer. I am proud to be a member of the Professional Photographers of America, and I have had the privilege of serving a diverse clientele in both Houston, TX, and Orlando, FL.

When faced with challenges, I tackle them head-on, determined to find effective solutions and achieve the best outcomes. What truly drives me is the satisfaction of my clients and ensuring their success in their respective businesses. Witnessing the joy on their faces is an incredible source of motivation for me.

I place great value on building strong customer relationships. By prioritizing open communication and understanding their unique needs, I strive to deliver exceptional results that exceed their expectations.

To stay abreast of the latest developments in my field, I am committed to continuous learning. I study and learn from established photographers who have paved the way, always seeking to expand my knowledge and enhance my skills.

What sets me apart is my genuine and light-hearted personality. I believe that fostering a comfortable and enjoyable environment is key to capturing authentic moments. My clients appreciate my ability to bring out their true selves, resulting in photographs that reflect their personalities and tell their stories.

I am excited to continue growing as a photographer, creating meaningful connections, and capturing timeless moments for my clients.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

At the heart of my creative journey lies a compelling vision: to establish a dedicated studio that nurtures and empowers fellow artists like myself. My ultimate goal is to create a vibrant space where individuals from various creative disciplines can come together to unleash their talents. This envisioned studio would offer accessible computer workstations and well-equipped workspaces, catering to the needs of photographers, editors, filmmakers, and anyone seeking an inspiring environment to bring their ideas to life.

By diligently pursuing this dream, I aspire to provide a supportive and collaborative community for artists to thrive. Within this studio, professionals would have the resources they require to excel in their craft, while also fostering an atmosphere that promotes the cross-pollination of ideas and artistic collaboration.

I firmly believe that such a space would not only facilitate individual growth but also encourage the emergence of innovative projects and groundbreaking artistic endeavors. With a strong focus on fostering a creative vibe and conducive working environment, my aim is to establish a studio that becomes a hub of inspiration, fueling the passion and creativity of all who walk through its doors.

By setting up this studio, I am determined to contribute to the artistic community, providing artists with the tools, support, and atmosphere they need to thrive and achieve their creative visions. This ambitious undertaking drives me forward, and I am eagerly working towards realizing this dream and making a lasting impact on the artistic landscape.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist or creative is the ability to connect deeply with others and evoke emotions through our work. As creators, we have the extraordinary power to communicate ideas, tell stories, and capture the essence of the human experience in ways that resonate with people on a profound level. The joy and fulfillment that come from touching someone’s life, inspiring them, or evoking a strong emotional response is truly unparalleled.

Furthermore, the freedom to express ourselves authentically and explore the boundless realms of imagination is a privilege that artists cherish. We have the opportunity to bring beauty, meaning, and thought-provoking perspectives into the world, sparking conversations, challenging norms, and igniting change.

Additionally, the creative process itself is immensely rewarding. The act of translating our thoughts and visions into tangible forms, be it through painting, writing, music, or any other medium, brings a sense of catharsis and personal fulfillment. It allows us to channel our unique perspectives, life experiences, and emotions into something tangible that has the power to inspire, provoke thought, and leave a lasting impact.
