We were lucky to catch up with Denyce Renee recently and have shared our conversation below.

Denyce, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How do you think about vacations as a business owner? Do you take them and if so, how? If you don’t, why not?

I do take vacations. I believe they are necessary for re-fueling your energy and creativity. Even if I can’t take a long break, just getting away from home for a few days helps to unclutter my mind and make room for new ideas. Being an artist, new places are often the inspiration for new artwork and projects, so more often than not, my vacations end up being “working vacations”, and I’m perfectly fine with that, since I love to be behind the camera- especially when I know that I might end up taking home somebodys’ next favorite piece of art!

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My name is Denyce Renee, and I’m a photographer/artist in the Cleveland area. I love to shoot fashion photography, senior photos, concerts/band photos, and especially love to do artistic photography. Sometimes I’ll use special lenses or tools to get artistic effects, other times it’s all in the editing. I also like to make costumes for some of my models- sometimes out of upcycled items like packing paper, or organic items like skeleton leaves. To see more of my work and to contact me about working with me, you can find me on instagram @dreneedesigns , , my website https://denycerenee.lightfolio.com/ , or https://kavyar.com/xxljfaxj7szd

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

For me, when somebody loves a piece of my art- it’s knowing that somebody else sees the same beauty that I see in a piece. It creates a kind of connection. That’s very rewarding to me.

Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)

I would actually love to get into this. I think it’s fascinating, crazy, cool, and ridiculously risky at the same time. And that’s exactly why I haven’t done it yet! But I might…soon…
