We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Nakeya Walker. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Nakeya below.
Nakeya , appreciate you joining us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
My most meaningful project was my art piece I named Spiritual Universe. It is an acrylic painting that helped me understand the world we live in on a spiritual level. The details I included were a sun, moon, woman, animals, ankh, earth, pyramids and a scarab. I wanted to create picture that depicts how heaven and earth is connected spiritually. I chose puzzle piece like shapes for the background because it’s so many things that connect us. This painting means a lot to my personal growth and how we are all a piece of one big puzzle yet we still matter even on the smallest scale.
Nakeya , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I have been a self proclaimed artist my entire life. I have always love being creative, taking small nothings and making it into something meaningful. I started off drawing alot when I was younger which quickly turned into me painting, writing and picking up a camera. I started my photography business in college as a get away to express self and connect to others. Hoping to bring out the best in others with creative photoshoots by capturing the moments we will never see with our own eyes. My goal has always been to show others what they can’t see and build confidence in my clients. I am most proud of the connections I’ve made over the years and the brands I helped build in the process. If you are ever looking for an experience that takes you to new heights, confident booster & photography that sets you apart from others then Prestigious Reflections LLC is here to go above and beyond to capture that moment!
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
My reputation has been built on word of mouth mainly and sharing through social media. I honestly connected with a lot of my clients through family and friends spreading the word of how much they enjoy my work and personality. It then, just continued from there throughout my city. I’ve worked with a lot of artist as well by going out and supporting them. I usually would go take pictures for my portfolio and then once someone sees me with a camera, they ask questions and I direct them to my social media pages and give them a business card. My advice is go to places that serve your interest and network with like minded people, you never know what opportunities are available.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding part of this experience has been being able to boost the confidence of others through my work. Which in return boost my own confidence in myself and my work. Whether its my photography or my writing it always has so many benefits on a mental level to myself and others. It’s my way of saying I’m human too because being an artist means opening up the most vulnerable parts of yourself and expressing them for the word to see and hopefully connect to.
