We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Yirett Clemente. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Yirett below.
Yirett, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with a story that highlights an important way in which your brand diverges from the industry standard.
For me, photography is not just an image, photography is capturing the essence of each person, that is why main objective is to provide an experience that goes above and beyond during the photoshoot. I like to have a conversation with each person so I can get to know their personality and carry out a image according to their essence and enhance what they want to express in a single image. My photography has no limits since I can take a basic image to something extraordinary.
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
I was born in Caracas, Venezuela. I graduated from the University of Marketing and Advertising. Throughout my university career, I started doing photography with an analog camera and experienced how to develop my photos in photographic laboratories. At that time, photography was a hobby for me. I used to only take photos of animals and unknown people on the streets. Over the years, I kept improving my art in photography and discovered where I wanted to go with it. Nowadays, people know me for being a photographer with a unique art, taking outstanding color photographs, taking editorial style photography and taking basic photography to fantasy, creating incredible worlds where there are no limits. I am proud of all the art that I have developed over the years and capture the essence of each person in a photo and make it a work of art.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
At the beginning. I only had a basic camera but with such a simple camera I created great photos. Thanks to that, I can express that a good photographer can do an incredible job with any photographic equipment. At that time, I was not okay financially to be able to afford a base or backdrops. However, my parents gave me a photography kit as a birthday present that came with three colors of fabric and two basic light reflectors. After that, i felt even more motivated to persue my dreams. I used to work in 5 different jobs to save enough for invesment. I learned to believe in my art, to trust in each step I took and to leave my comfort zone to continue fulfilling my goals. Today, I have my photography studio and I am one of the most recognized photographers in Orlando city. I tell each person that being consistent is the key to success.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I built my audience uploading quality content and everything dedicated to photography and videos. On my platforms, I show the processes behind the camera and the results of each session, it is important to demonstrate in social media what you are and what you want to transmit and mainly generate quality content that contributes to others, that makes them want to be constantly updated with everything you do.
