We recently had the chance to connect with Tre’Sean Durham and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Tre’Sean, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What is a normal day like for you right now?
With being a creative and a new father, it’s been a lot of balancing lately. However, a normal day for me right now is starting my day with prayer/meditation. I still have a 9-5 so going to work every day, handling those duties. Leave work, then go pick up my daughter from daycare and from there it’s making sure I spend quality time with her. All while being an entrepreneur and managing Supply Lab simultaneously, so checking emails, following up with clients and of course editing. If I’m lucky enough, I try to squeeze in a workout as well either early in the afternoon or late in the evening.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Tre’Sean Durham, a native of Louisville Kentucky. With a passion for photography and videography, I am dedicated to helping you bring your vision to life. With my experience playing collegiate basketball at Berea College and Thomas More University has taught me discipline and teamwork, qualities that shine through in my work. My keen eye for detail and my ability to understand the essence of each subject makes me a master of my craft. From captivating portraits to breathtaking landscapes, he highlights the unique qualities that make every moment special. When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy reading, the outdoors, basketball, and quality time with family. These experiences shape my artistry and allow me to connect with clients on a personal level.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
I would say my mom. She saw things in me, I didn’t even know that were there. For example, my creativity. Growing up, I wouldn’t have believed I was creative because to me that meant you could draw or do art at a high level. However, she would always tell me how I thought outside of the box and I noticed things others didn’t. My attention to detail was like a superpower. She knew I was passionate about sports but I was always curious about cameras. So my junior year of high school, she bought me a camera and really opened my mind to explore my creativity through a lens.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
It stripped away illusion. Suffering showed you who’s really in your corner, what actually matters, and what doesn’t. Success can inflate your ego, but pain humbles you and brings you back to the core of who you are. After losing my mom to lung cancer in 2017, it built resilience in me, I learned how to stand tall when everything felt unstable. Success feels good, but it rarely tests your foundation like suffering does. It’s where your endurance, patience, and emotional intelligence were sharpened. It deepened my empathy and it clarified my purpose.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
I think they would say God, family, Supply Lab, purpose, authenticity, legacy, growth, connection, and impact.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
They’d say you were a man who showed up — not just for yourself, but for everybody you loved and everything you believed in. A father who led with love and intention. A creative who didn’t just take pictures — you told stories, gave people confidence, and helped them see themselves in a light they never knew they had.
They’d say you built something out of nothing. That you turned pain into purpose, setbacks into art, and dreams into movements. That you stayed rooted in your community but thought global — inspiring young artists, fathers, and visionaries to keep creating, keep believing, and keep supplying the vibes.
They’d remember the way you made people feel — seen, heard, respected. You had a gift for leaving an imprint without ever forcing it. You gave hope to those who were lost and laughter to those who were hurting.
And at the end of it all, they’d say:
“Tre’ lived it real. He loved hard, created freely, and left the world brighter than he found it.
