An artist with a message to share.
TA: Hello, Christopher. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am so pleased that we have become Facebook friends because seeing your shared work brightens my moment. Your work is very special, and I am so honored that you have agreed to share some of it with us on this platform. So, without any further delay, can you briefly share with us your wisdom as to how you arrived at where you are today?
Christopher: I’ve been an avid photographer since adolescence…started with a Kodak Instamatic.
TA: Ah, yes – A Kodak Instamatic. Recently, I used a Kodak Instamatic camera to take pictures at a fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. When I handed the first few kids their photograph, they looked at me as if I needed to take another one because this first picture did not come out. But then the magic happened. They became fascinated as their photograph came into focus. It was a very cute and special moment.
Following up with your first answer, based on your experience of being an avid photographer since your adolescence years, can you share with this audience three ways that you create and nurture a dedicated following on social media?
Christopher: I find an appropriate target audience. I pay close attention to detail. I provide positive, reinforcing feedback.
TA: Absolutely. These three ingredients which includes searching for the right audience, paying attention to the finer details, and providing positive feedback are an excellent recipe to create and nurture your following on social media.
As you know, creativity is at the core of everything that exists. Given this truism, what are five exciting things that you have noticed about the online creative community?
Christopher: Diversity. Creativity. Controversy. Huge growth of aspiring & talented photographers. Amazing technology.
TA: Four items in your list of five addressed the human spirit and the fifth one is technology. I agree that together, the human spirit and advanced technology create an unstoppable force. They complement each other, enhancing our ability to innovate, solve complex problems, and create meaningful impact.
