We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kish Daniels. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kish below.
Alright, Kish 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 mom, who passed away in 2017, was one of my biggest cheerleaders and advocates. She always encouraged me to march to the beat of my own drum and to believe in the talents and experiences I have that are uniquely my own.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Growing up, my dad used to let me play around with his film and digital cameras and my mom was always singing and dancing. In high school, along with sports I took a couple of film classes and got my first opportunity to create prints in a darkroom. In college, I decided to major in marketing and found a home in social media and content creation. From 2015-2021 I (luckily) got chances to shoot photo and video, direct psa’s and take photos for brands, small businesses and nonprofits.
In 2021 I started Kish Media Co., and have since focused on storytelling through video and photography, both digital and analog.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
Creating ideas that come from your background or area of expertise. Making a photo or video that shares experiences, and moments that others who have gone through similar things can connect with has been very special for me.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
It’s not unlearning, but I am constantly working to overcome imposter syndrome and not feeling good enough. Whenever I am unsure of my work or stuck, I think about at how far I come, get off social media for a bit and go for a walk or go fishing.
