Today we’d like to introduce you to Paxton Davis.
Paxton, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
I discovered my love for photography at a very young age. My parents bought me a camera for Christmas one year and I haven’t stopped since. I started my business by booking senior sessions during my senior year of high school.
We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
My goal has always simply been to make people feel beautiful. I capture the natural and candid moments during a session that express the love that a couple or family shares. I always aim to tell a story through each session someone books with me. My clients’ story is always what inspires me to capture certain shots, edit a certain way, decide a location, etc. All I hope for is that my clients and anyone who looks at my work sees the raw emotion that someone feels in every photo.
The stereotype of a starving artist scares away many potentially talented artists from pursuing art – any advice or thoughts about how to deal with the financial concerns an aspiring artist might be concerned about?
I have learned that in the photography world, it isn’t so much about your equipment as it is your artistic ability. You can create beautiful images with even an iPhone. Focus more on your knowledge and ability. Play with light and angles, find your editing style, save while you do these things until you can purchase a nice camera. I shot with a crop sensor camera until a year ago and still ran a successful business because I put my all into it.
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
