We were lucky to catch up with Oscar Jordan recently and have shared our conversation below.
Oscar, 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?
I attribute my strong work ethic to the example set by my parents. Both are incredibly hardworking individuals who demonstrated, through their actions, the importance of dedication and perseverance. Watching them over the years, I’ve learned not to take anything for granted and to seize every opportunity with full commitment. Their relentless pursuit of excellence and their ability to overcome challenges have instilled in me a deep understanding that any opportunity presented is worth giving my all. This foundation has shaped my approach to work and life, driving me to consistently strive for the best in everything I do.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I’m a Photographer based out of Miami, FL. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the New World School of the Arts and the University of Florida. My photographic work spans various genres, but I primarily focus on fashion and conceptual art. For me, photography is a means to freeze time and capture the beauty of life. Through my lens, I’ve ventured to places I never imagined I’d go, and I aspire to share my unique perspective with the world.
Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?
The most impactful thing my parents did for me was allowing me to follow my dreams. Being a photographer isn’t a traditional 9 to 5 job, which is what they were used to, but they understood and respected my passion. They never questioned my career choice because they saw how happy it made me. Their support and belief in my ability to succeed in what I love doing, along with the fact that I could sustain myself financially, were incredibly empowering. Their trust and encouragement gave me the confidence to pursue my passion wholeheartedly.
