Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Devonta Hicks . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Devonta , looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
My work ethics , comes from my father. I watched my father go to work 5 days a week . To support his family … So that showed me to get up” everyday and go to work . because nothing is giving to you for (Free)
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Snoozephotography was started as a contribute to my cousin (snooze) who lost his life. Before I stepped into the world of photography it was him who was my personal camera man! My journey started as of March this year, yes i know such a short time frame but it feels like I’ve been in the business forever now. When i first started taking picture’s longevity wasn’t really a thought, it was my hobby. It wasn’t until i purchased my T6 Rebel I knew i was in for the long run. As of now I’m 32 and this is something I’m going to pursue for a lifetime! As of now my focus is mainly on, gaining more clientele, expanding, and gaining more knowledge as well as experience. And let’s not forget expanding i want SnoozePhotography to be worldwide someday!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Looking back there’s a few but my first skill or quality was knowing my camera. Secondly I’d say, was networking getting my name out. Lastly, was believing in myself. If i had to give some advice on those three skills or qualities it would be learn your tools or materials before hand. Also, don’t be nervous or scared to meet people or go to events to network with different types of people. And lastly never stop believing in yourself even if nobody else do.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
Just off the top of my head I’d have to say, I’m looking forward to collaborating with all sorts of people. Other photographers, models, dancers, you name it. Y’all can find my business page via. Instagram: Snooze___photography
