Today we’d like to introduce you to Xavier Esmon.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures! From a child up to now, I was always taking a picture or getting in some pictures.
My love for photography was reignited in high school. I was a part of the media team and yearbook committee after high school. I had planned on going to college for photography and design, but as they always say, God had other plans for me. I ended up doing a couple years of community college, but things didn’t go the way I thought they would. So, I started working.
While attending a youth/college fair at church,a visitor sparked interest in me when they saw me taking pictures of the event and wanted to help me get things up and running for my photography business. After a while, I took a step back to focus on more personal matters.
In 2015 I revamped my business and with that came Real Eyez Photography. I started out doing parties/small events and family functions. Along with doing events, I also got involved with doing weddings, family portraits, and etc..
Real Eyez Photography is where it is today truly by the grace of God and the true support of family and friends. Real Eyez Photography is about capturing the precious moments of life and creating new memories.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Has it been a smooth road?! Definitely not! With my business I’ve had some high moments and I’ve had some low moments, but those moments taught me a lot.
Some of the struggles that I came across when I first started out was attracting potential clients and participants to do photo shoots and pictures. I also struggled with finding locations to do pictures. Within those struggles, I always managed and figured out a way to make things work and please the clients.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I truly enjoy doing photography. I love creating a positive atmosphere where my clients can feel comfortable and at ease.
I think what sets me apart from others is that whenever I’m doing a shoot I always try to have a moment where I give my clients words of encouragement, because this crazy world we all can use a little encouragement every now and then.
The thing that I am most proud of is when I did my first studio shoot. I’m also proud of how far I’ve come with this business even when not having all the big high tech equipment, I’ve still been able to make things happen and capture precious moments.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
People can support me and contact me to collaborate with me through my social media pages. Sharing my work and pages is the best way to show support and let others know about Real Eyez Photography
