Today we’d like to introduce you to Christopher Noel.
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?
Fresh out of college with a degree in Visual Communication (2011), acting was my obsession. Graphic design was just a safety net. A wise friend (now close!) kept pushing me to start a business, but fame and fortune were my only focus. Looking back, it’s pretty funny.
Years later, during a break from design to pursue acting, I landed a production assistant (PA) role on a local play. Lead role dreams aside, it was paid! This behind-the-scenes experience ignited a new passion. Two years later, 1154 Studios was born. I co-produced a pitch tape with a friend, and to our amazement, it caught the eye of industry veterans from CNN, VH1, and more. They even complimented the camerawork – a huge deal considering my shoestring budget and the fact that I was the one behind the lens!
That experience fueled my fire. Soon after, paid camera gigs started rolling in, inspiring me to offer more services. Today, 1154 Studios is a premier creative studio delivering top-notch photography & videography services to local businesses, realtors, public figures, and entrepreneurs within the bustling Metro Atlanta region.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The turning point came when I stopped holding myself back. It took brutal honesty. I had to shed negative influences and reconnect with the person I’d become buried under the pressure to compete. I silenced the self-doubt and embraced the man I was afraid to be. External challenges are inevitable, but it’s the internal resistance that truly holds us back. Powerful lessons learned.

We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up.
Picking a favorite childhood memory is like picking a favorite star – impossible! But one that always makes me chuckle involves a particularly… unique Christmas gift. I must’ve been around 5 or 6. Christmas Eve, anticipation crackling in the air, and I eavesdrop on my parents in a heated debate. Turns out, the “perfect” bike wasn’t so perfect – a custom job combining my mom’s safety features with my dad’s “cool factor.” Let’s just say the result was… interesting.
The Frankenbike lasted a glorious week before succumbing to the gravity of a neighborhood hill. Tears flowed freely then, but now, it’s a hilarious memory. Maybe Dad should’ve listened to Mom on that one!
