We recently connected with Rashad Moultrie and have shared our conversation below.

Rashad , appreciate you joining us today. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?

To be successful, I believe you will have to be committed. With that commitment to your dream or the goals you have set, you got to put that groundwork in especially that time cause that will definitely make you appreciate everything at the end. Secondly, to being successful you really got to have fun doing what it is you doing have fun along your journey.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

How I found my love for photography all started by me wanting to purchase a camera for wife who was my girlfriend at the time as a birthday gift, so on my way to Best Buy to see what they had one of my friends call me and told me he got a camera for me, and I can have it. Perfect!!! so just making sure everything looks good and working fine I had like a week with it before I actually was going to give it to her. During that time, I would go out shooting little things mostly nature stuff and slowly but surely, I was hook. After I give the camera to her, I would always keep going out with it so basically it became mines and as time went on, I just started taking it more serious and really learning as much as i can about photography it was a journey as anything else a lot of trial and error. but it all worked out but im still learning new things all the time that’s what i love about it..

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

I would say word of mouth honestly, that’s how I grew my clientele it was like the snowball effect after a while you start to get refers from past clients or even just people that was a fan of my work and I always kept a good rapport with them.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

A lesson I had to unlearn was following the trend…

At the beginning I would see all the things the local photographer was shooting, and I figure that’s what I had to shoot to get recognize or to attract work and when I would do some of those style shoots, I always got this ill feeling like I knew it wasn’t for me and when I started to just come into my own style the images was better and just overall happier with the end result.
