We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Derek Liang. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Derek below.
Alright, Derek thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Almost every entrepreneur we know has considered donating a portion of their sales to an organization or cause – how did you make the decision of whether to donate? We’d love to hear the backstory if you’re open to sharing the details.
We donate 1% of our sales to removing CO2 from the atmosphere through Stripe Climate. We chose to do CO2 because, as someone who enjoys the natural beauty of the world and captures it through our lens, we want to help preserve the world for future generations to see as well.
Derek, 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?
Hey there, I am Derek! I am a landscape and travel photographer and first I got into this industry when I started to spend time outdoors learning how to use a camera. Through the process, I realized I enjoyed the outdoors and traveling to new places to capture the scenery.
As a photographer, I offer content creation services for clients such as tourism boards, hotel chains, product brands, and more! The problem I solve for my clients is delivering quality content.
I am definitely most proud of my work with tourism boards such as Visit California where I deliver informational short stories and Colorado Tourism where I did a road trip during the peak of Autumn last year.
Alright – so here’s a fun one. What do you think about NFTs?
I believe NFTs are an amazing tool that will bring a lot of value, especially for creators trying to monetize their work. At the same time, it is very early to say, but I am hopeful and I know there are a lot of potential use cases for NFTs.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
The primary mission for my creative journey has always been showing the world and its beauty to everyone around the world. Whether that be through social media, media outlets, and brands.
