Meet Kloey Powell

We were lucky to catch up with Kloey Powell recently and have shared our conversation below.

Kloey, appreciate you making time for us and sharing your wisdom with the community. So many of us go through similar pain points throughout our journeys and so hearing about how others overcame obstacles can be helpful. One of those struggles is keeping creativity alive despite all the stresses, challenges and problems we might be dealing with. How do you keep your creativity alive?

I keep my creativity alive by daydreaming. Sometimes I feel like I’m lost in my own head, but I don’t always think it’s a bad thing. I find myself in worlds I create in my head, adventuring into ideas I create on the spot. My imagination keeps my creativity alive, and when I find myself in a slump or surrounded by the dullness of life, I simply start a journey into my own mind.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I am a Savannah based photographer, who focuses on concert photography, but often branches out. Recently I have found myself taking senior portraits, along with doing themed photo sessions. Currently I am doing a lot of portfolio building, especially with concert photography. I am also currently booking for high school and college senior sessions!

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Relaxation. Once I let myself relax behind the camera I find myself getting the best shots. It’s much easier to capture an incredible moment once I am not solely focused on capturing said moment. Some of my best shots were taken by a continuous shoot. Always look for the little treasures in those bursts of shots.

Have fun with clients. Creating a space with good energy always leads to better photos. Making sure the client is comfortable and happy in their environment is SO important. Good shots don’t come from tense conversation and awkward direction.

Try every angle. Try everything! For example in a photo pit at a concert, it’s better to move around and try every angle and any interesting idea that crosses your brain. It’s the same with portrait shots. Try a new pose and a new location. You never know what you’ll miss out on if you don’t try EVERYTHING!!

Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?

In both writing and photography, my 11th grade english teacher helped me open so many doors of creativity. As a photographer herself, she showed me tips and tricks for lighting and without her guidance I wouldn’t have gained the skills I have today. In writing, she pushed me to be the best writer I could be, and really made me fall in love with writing.
