Meet Veronica Mateu of Atlanta

Today we’d like to introduce you to Veronica Mateu.

Hi Veronica, 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?
My photography videography love started when I was 10 years old. I had a cousin who introduced me to iMovie, and then, shortly after that, I received my first camera. I spent years shooting in filming in my room with a flip camera and my Acer laptop. When I turned 16 is when I started working with clients. It wasn’t an official business yet, but I still made a little money. Two years later, I officially opened my business, then booked my first wedding. I knew I wanted to get some kind of education so I then pursued going to the Creative Circus in Buckhead. It was a portfolio advertising art school that led me to receive international awards and job opportunities. Even though I was working full-time in production companies, I still had my company on the side.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Overall being in this industry, it is extremely competitive, so no matter what there’s going to be bumps and struggles along the way. The best way to handle these types of struggles is to have a God in your heart, and a good support system!

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The type of creative that I am started off with a lot of goofy humor, and then it turned into an extremely dramatic story telling photos and videos. I now have found a comfort in sizzle reel content meant for advertising. My favorite would probably be fast paced, music thumping, goose bumping editorial commercials. I am most proud of my international awards that I had received for my “Grey Poupon” commercial. I think what sets me apart the most from others is that I really put a lot of soul into what I create. It has a lot to do with the fact that it allowed me to be in a different realm for a few hours, while I was creating an editing. A lot of Director photography’s and photographers struggle to find a love for what they do and see it more for work. If you’re in this industry, you have to have a love for it.

How do you define success?
I define success as completing what you promised, or even overachieving what you promised. I don’t find it by others telling you that you’re successful, but by what my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ defines as success.
