Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Willie Stone IV. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Willie, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
I first knew I wanted to take modeling and content creation seriously when after I seen and got messages that I was inspiring people to start their own thing and people telling me they take inspiration from my stuff being put out also just me always wanting to try new styles and keep advancing
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?
Im will and I’m from jersey but I live in Atlanta now before I took everything seriously I used to always book photo shoots with a local photographer in jersey but at that time I wasn’t really into the fashion scene like that after a couple month I wanted to improve in my outfits and stop dressing like that normal I seen everyday so I did research and found some people to take inspiration from and went from there
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
Seeing all the opportunities and people I never thought I’d be able to meet us one of a rewarding aspect for this industry also working with high mainstream brands I don’t even think my younger self can fathom of me working or communicating to also seeing the gradual growth of everything over the years
Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?
It’s not as easy as pulling your phone out and taking quick pictures if you want to take it serious it takes a lot of time to edit and think of and come up with innovative videos or outfits that people never seen before and just because you spent hours recording a 15 second clip doesn’t mean your views will reflect that after everything is posted it’s out of your control and the fashion/ content creator scene isn’t for everyone especially wit some of the criticism and ups and down months in terms of every one of your videos will not perform how you imagined it to in all people think it’s a quick way to get an easy bag or free items but the audience and brands can see through the effort if you’re doing it because you like it or if you just think it’s a quick easy way to get stuff
