He shares how he got started, how he turns his hustle into income, life on the road with celebrities, and finally a knowledge bomb.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 &#8211; How did you get into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight or nine months ago, I had come back to the states after my first visit to London Fashion week and had been influenced by a friend to purchase an instant film camera. I had owned a camera before, but it hadn&#8217;t become an extension of myself until this moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2 &#8211; Tell us about your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My business is a multifaceted social media marketing company. We focus on the message that a brand or personality wants to convey to their audience to help them convert and grow their audience. It&#8217;s truly the purest form of connection when your, personality, your message, and your content are all congruent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3- What is it like traveling with celebrities?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling with celebrities is surreal. It was never something that I thought was in the realm of my reach until it happened, but at the same time a celebrity wasn&#8217;t always a celebrity, they earned their way to fame and notoriety. Celebs are just normal people at the end of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They like the same things as you and I, they just get bombarded with attention. I am extremely blessed to have been recognized by Colson Baker (MachineGunKelly). He really opened up a lot of doors for me in terms of opportunity, introduced me to the people in his circle of bosses, and really helped me become self-aware of my talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4 &#8211; What advice do you have for artists starting out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists should focus always on their art. I find that most creatives lose their way because they get too focused on making money or recognition rather than maintaining their passion. Don&#8217;t lose your passion, always push your boundaries, never stop creating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we caught up with celebrity photographer, ZAZU.
