We recently connected with Tanner Gould and have shared our conversation below.
Tanner, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
Here’s the breakdown of how I came up with Seven Lakes Productions:
Seven: is my favorite number. In Biblical terms the number 7 symbolizes “completion or perfection”. I want everything I do to be done to the best of my ability and always be growing to perfect my craft.
Lakes: being born and raised in Michigan I referenced this from “The Great Lakes” state.
Productions: I chose productions because I wanted to make it know I do both photo and video work and didn’t want to limit myself to just one option.
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.
Looking back, it’s easy for me to understand now why becoming a photographer and videographer is a great place for me to be. I’ve always been around a camera especially coming from a 10 year background as an actor. It still took some adjusting but switching from behind the camera as an actor to photographer/videographer was more comfortable for me. The idea of seeing something in my head and bringing it to life makes what I do very enjoyable. That and being able to collaborate with so many incredible people bringing their ideas to life as well. I care deeply about the projects I work on and will always promise to give my absolute best. The work I’ve been blessed with has brought me unforgettable experiences in my life that I will forever be grateful for. I look forward to seeing where else this opportunity will take me. Thank you to everyone past, present and future that I’ve had the ability to work with/will work with. I appreciate you all more than you know!
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
My clients satisfaction with the end results. There’s a lot that goes into this line of work behind the scenes that most people don’t even realize, myself included before I began my business. There are many little details that are huge to making sure everything is the way you wanted and meets your clients needs. Once it’s all said and done and the client is happy with the finished project, that’s when it’s most rewarding for me.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Collaborating with as many people as I can. Being able to hand someone a memory I’ve captured for them that will last a lifetime is a beautiful thing. The more people I can share that moment with, the more fulfilling this whole experience gets.
