We were lucky to catch up with Zach Brophy recently and have shared our conversation below.

Zach, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

It all started when my athletic career got dismantled by a severe head injury. my athletic career was looking very good I was a varsity wrestler and football player by sophomore year. by the end of the year I was among the best in the state at both, making a huge name for my self. During my sophomore year last game of the football season I suffered a severe head injury that changed my life forever. Unable to be an athlete, a big part of my identity, I decided to tap into another part of my identity. My love for art and photography. so I went out and purchased a camera. I started taking pictures for my former teammates providing them with photos they will cherish for the rest of their life’s. All of the hard work I would have put into being an all star athlete I transferred into my passion for photography I started growing a name for my self in the photography world people started reaching out wanting my photos all the way to today where I am working with world star athletes like Andrew Alirez NCAA D1 champion and 2x senior national champ. Photography has not only blessed me with expressing my love for art but also has kept me close to the other part of me that loves sports so much. while I did continued my athletic career achieving many accolades. I suffered many head injuries throughout my highschool career leaving me no choice but to give up my athletic career and not continue in college. So hopefully now I will continue working with world class athletes providing them with unique high quality photos and videos as a hybrid shooter and keep close to Both of my passions, sports and art

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I just explained how I got into the creative industry I provided unique eye catching photos and capture moments people will never forget. I also capture moments with video. The thing that separates me from others is a have the drive and determination that an all start athlete would have I will work harder than any other creator. I’m most proud of the time I’ve put into learning this craft and how dedicated I have been and will continue to be to this passion and business of mine

How did you build your audience on social media?

The main ways to grow on social media is to be consistent. if you continue to put out high quality engaging media you will grow but it takes time. The biggest way to grow fast is to do work for people that already have a big following and funnel there fanbase to your.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Most of my clients have been from word of mouth or by me reaching out to the client themselves selfs. while yes social media has provided with clients. Personal interaction will always be better than social media. So if you want to build a good clientele go out interact and meet people
