Hi Dontarius, thank you so much for sitting down with us again. For folks who might have missed our initial interview, can you start by briefly introducing yourself?
My name Dontarius Parham I do photography and promote party’s , I love taking pictures at different types of events specially capturing those moments of people having fun .it brings a smile to my face . After high school I didn’t know what I wanted to do so I met someone who was a photographer that taught me some things that got me really excited about photography but so far in my journey I’ve been self-teaching myself I’ve be doing it 3 years now and it’s been a bumpy road but I truly have been enjoying it loving every part about it I’m still learning until this day about photography I’m not perfect but I’ve definitely gotten better since day 1 and I’ve met a lot different people down the road and I really like meeting different people .meeting different personalities has been fun and still fun until this day I’m not where I wanna be now but eventually I’ll be there 💯
How’s it been since you started your photography business? How’s the experience of being a photographer been for you?
It’s been wonderful I really admire the struggle because looking back from 5 years from now I’ll be further of where I am now .learning about different things dealing with my cameras been really fun I get really happy when I learn about a feature dealing with my camera I use to think I was in competition with other people who was photographers but I’ll eventually learn I’m just in a competition with myself so I don’t get really jealous when I see other photographers at these events or at these parties I actually go introduce myself to other photographers when I see one lol and make my connection
Have you ever thought about giving up?
Yes, I have plenty of times I’ve been in droughts where I stop taking pictures for months and I think in my mind why should I give up now? And I’m not even where I wanna be right now
Do you ever get nervous before a shoot?
Yes, I really do but what clam me down is when I actually start talking to my client during the shoot
What you love to shoot the most?
Events because like I said I love capturing the moments. capturing those moments of people having fun definitely bring a smile to my face
