We were lucky to catch up with Fabian Bailey recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Fabian thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Who is your hero and why? What lessons have you learned from them and how have they influenced your journey?
My Hero was and is my Father. The Lessons I have learned from him have made me the man I am today. From patience to how to speak to people to how to carry myself in a professional matter. But of all the things I’ve learned from my father the 2 things that stands with me the most is how you should treat people with respect and how you should never take yourself to serious.
Fabian, 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?
So for the people that don’t know me I am Fabian Bailey aka Fabian.Photos also knew as Your Favorite Photographer. As a Friendly smile and dreads behind the Camera how did I become this guy well I’ve always was taking photos and missing around with my dads video camera but honestly I never thought I would be a photographer, because my father was a photographer, it was that I don’t want to do what my parents do kind of thing.
After College is were I really found my love for photography. I think it was more of the thought of growing up my Father always had a Camera capturing memories. So I wanted to gave that to my Family and Friends taking photos for them and their memories and special moments that should be remember forever.
What sets me apart from the rest is my approach its not just about capturing the best images and Videos don’t get me wrong this is important but making sure the client is comfortable is so much more important. what I’ve learned is if everyone is having a great time the images will come out wonderful. I bring good welling sprit and enough energy for everyone hints why I am Your Favorite Photographer because we are going to have a great time and I’m going to make sure you love the work.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The Most rewarding aspect of being a photographer/creative is seeing your work being shared by my peers as well as loved ones. Another rewarding aspect is being a photographer is the traveling to new area across the country as well as other country. i mean who doesn’t like to travel.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
My advice for anyone starting out would be Quality not quantity this is an important rule of thumb. But another important rule would be Consistency.
Social media is important at the beginning of my journey I didn’t realize how much of it it would be. How I’ve build my social media was consistency with posting and sharing my work, but not just showing my work but showing the BTS (behind the sense) so client can see the great work and the great time as well as my personality.
