Today we’d like to introduce you to Semaj Davis.
Hi Semaj, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started photography May 6th, 2021 at that point I’d been doing graphic design classes for 3 years in high school and was trying to figure out a business for me to be happy with & something that I am actually good at and passionate about. Income tax season came around and I bought a canon m50 that’s been my baby ever since. I’ve always taken pics just on people’s phone or my own phone and they’d be so happy with the way their pics came out that I’d be happy I would always say I’m the best phone photographer out here but now that I got my own professional camera those pictures aren’t nothing compared to these!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It hasn’t, I struggled with finding motivation at the beginning because I was wondering where my clients were? But I had to realize it wasn’t my time yet… I was still learning and I couldn’t just expect the clients to fall out the sky I had to go get them! And then I had to learn that I had to find my target clients/audience you’d probably say anybody could need a photographer but no it’s different types of photography and different types of styles, my style of photography probably isnt for everybody but I found the people that it’s for and that made my journey within photography way smoother.. just not being so hard on myself about my business made it a smooth road eventually. Everything takes time and everybody is on their own time I just had to find my time.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I do photography – outdoor, studio, event & videography I’m mostly known for & specialize in photography though! I’m mostly proud of all the work I have made I just started in 2021 it’s 2022 and a magazine is already interviewing me like that’s exciting! What sets me apart is I actually love taking pictures for people and seeing the smile on their faces when they see my pics. I genuinely love photography a lot of people in this field just do it for the money I’m doing it for the people the money is going to come regardless!
We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
I learned you can’t take anything for granted being in quarantine helped and also destroyed my mental health because I realized I wasn’t happy being alone with myself I had to learn to be happy with myself and that’s why I’m glad quarantine lasted as long as it did well not glad more so bittersweet because the circumstances were nothing to be glad about. I also learned that we’re all rich, WE ARE ALL RICH, we just have to go and get the money!
