Today we’d like to introduce you to Joshua Edwards.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
It was my junior year in high school, bored out of our mind’s and hungry for instant gratification my best friend and I had the idea to become “famous” on the well known social media platform called Tumblr. He was supposed to be a rising model and I his photographer. Over time I began to want to learn more and more about photography and art in general and through luck. Dedication, perseverance and a lot of films I am where I am today. Through the years I’ve grown to love photography and the places it has taken me, it started as just taking pictures but has transformed into a passion for me.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I don’t think anything worth obtaining in life will be obtained smoothly. I’ve been ripped off working with people, had a camera stolen from me, a lens stolen along with that, gone broke a few times trying to bring creative ideas to life, been disrespected while practicing my craft and countless others. Just recently I’ve been going through arguments about school with my family because I’d rather pursue the freelance creative route in life.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Joshua Edwards – what should we know?
I am currently a rising photographer but have recently been interested in the film industry as a whole, it would be a dream to someday soon open up a production company and become a full-time cinematographer, I am currently specializing in portraiture and music. Videos. I know what’s sets me apart is my passion for my craft, individuality, and the inspiration I hope to bring to others around me in my age group, I’ve worked very hard ever since I was 16 and want nothing more than to inspire my peers.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Any successful person period I believe have to possess tremendous amounts of perseverance, dedication, determination, creativity, and a certain level of delusion and perfectionism. I have not gotten to where I am because I am better than anybody, but because I will never quit.
