We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful JEREMY WAMBUGU. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with JEREMY below.

JEREMY, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

As a photographer, I am driven by a passion to capture the essence of individuals, families and inanimate objects, preserving their unique stories and creating heirlooms that will be cherished for generations to come. My mission is to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, using my experience and artistic vision to capture the raw emotions, personalities, and connections that define each and every photograph. I believe that photography is more than just taking pictures; it’s about connecting with people and the world around you on a deeper level, understanding their essence, and translating that into visual storytelling. I approach each photo with genuine desire to capture the authenticity of my subjects. Photographs that should not only visually appealing but, should also create deep personal and emotional resonant connection. I am committed to using my photography to connect world with photographs in this unique way regardless of the genre of photography.

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?

About Me

I have been a part time photographer for almost 3 years due to my obligations as an active duty service member. I have developed my unique style of photography through experience in a wide variety of photography genres, including portraiture, fashion, wedding, street and commercial photography.

How I Got into Photography

Before Covid I started to develop a keen interest into capturing family pictures and video on my iphone more than just taking a quick snippet. I would research on how to maximize the capabilities of my little iphone camera and then found myself investing more and more time into the possibility of using a digital camera. My family and friends began recommending that I get into Photography and once covid hit I pulled the trigger and purchased my first digital camera.

Products/Services/Creative Works I Provide

Very simply put I offer just about all genres of photography services.

I help my clients achieve their photography goals by:

Via consultation my clients and myself go over what they are looking for and what I am capable of providing them. We come up with a gameplan to ensure we achieve a desirable outcome. I am also not afraid to let a client know that what they are looking for might not be something I can provide them and would happily point them in the right direction. My goal is to fulfill what my clients desire not just take their money and deliver a product/service that they are not happy with.

What I Am Most Proud Of

I am most proud of the positive impact that my photography has had on my clients’ lives. I have received many compliments from clients who are grateful for the images that I have captured for them. These compliments translate into more recommendations from clients, models and fellow photographers.

What I Want Potential Clients/Followers/Fans to Know

I am committed to providing my clients with the highest quality of service and creating images that they will cherish for years to come. My passion for photography motivates me to get better so the can translate to a better product and service for my potential and returning clients.
