Today we’d like to introduce you to Ervens Oge.
Hi Ervens, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I was born in Miami, where life brought its share of challenges, but growing up with three brothers and a sister taught me resilience, teamwork, and how to enjoy the journey. Football was always a big part of my life. At 16, my family moved to Blackshear, GA, which was a major adjustment, but I adapted, built new relationships, and continued playing.
Football presented me with the opportunity to attend LaGrange College, becoming a first-generation graduate with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration—while working full-time, attending school full-time, and serving as captain of the football team.
After college, I moved to Brunswick to be closer to family, and that’s where the foundation of my business began. In 2018, I realized my brokerage needed quality listing media and decided to become the solution. I dedicated countless hours to learning and refining my craft, and over time my work and demand grew.
In 2020, I relocated to Atlanta and rebranded as Otography ATL. Today, the brand continues to grow, providing high-quality real estate photography, cinematic video, drone content, and premium marketing visuals—built on excellence, reliability, and a genuine passion for helping clients showcase their properties at the highest level.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. For clients, we strive to ensure the experience always feels seamless—because they come first. But behind the scenes, there’s an enormous amount of planning, problem-solving, investment, and discipline required to consistently deliver at a high level. Entrepreneurship demands resilience. When you choose this path, your faith, integrity, patience, and commitment are tested constantly. It takes sacrifice, long days, early mornings, and unwavering belief in your vision.
In real estate media specifically, one of our biggest ongoing challenges is Mother Nature. Weather can disrupt schedules, threaten timelines, and create unpredictable conditions. Rainy days used to feel like the ultimate setback, but over time we’ve learned to adapt. Through better systems, improved scheduling, advanced editing techniques, and experience, we’ve turned what used to be obstacles into opportunities to demonstrate our reliability, creativity, and professionalism.
We’ve also navigated the realities of equipment failures, changing market conditions, evolving technology, and the pressure to constantly improve while maintaining exceptional service. But every challenge has pushed us to grow stronger, become more efficient, and refine our craft. Those experiences have shaped Otography ATL into a dependable, resilient, and client-focused brand that takes pride not only in the final product, but in the dedication it takes to deliver it.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Otography ATL ?

I’ve been in business for 8 years, and over the past 6 years, I’ve proudly maintained a 5.0-star rating on Thumbtack, which speaks to our consistency, reliability, and client-focused service. Before launching Otography ATL, I earned my bachelor’s degree in business administration from LaGrange College while working full-time and serving as captain of the football team. Sports have always played a major role in my life, and the values they instilled—discipline, leadership, teamwork, accountability, resilience, and dedication—directly influence how I run my business today.

Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
Yes, definitely. Books like Atomic Habits and The Compound Effect have been huge for me in terms of mindset, discipline, and understanding how small consistent actions really add up. I also love Earn Your Leisure (EYL) because they break down entrepreneurship and wealth-building in a real, relatable way. And honestly, something as simple as Apple Music is a big resource for me—music helps me stay focused, grounded, and in a good headspace when things get busy.
