Today we’d like to introduce you to Lamont “Lp” Pettiway.
Hi Lamont, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started off wanting to try something new and tried my hand at modeling and acting. After years of doing events and shows, I wanted more and started working at the company that started me out. I became an instructor and began a new route in the form of teaching. After four years, I decided I wanted my own thing. I left there and started my own business and started doing my own events. I did Fashion shows, live music events, and more. I enjoyed working with a variety of people and talents. I did this for about ten years. Soon I was hit with the change bug and wanted to do more. I was back in school for IT so on the side, I picked up a camera and started learning photography. It was for fun at first but quickly found a love for it. Before I knew it, I had my own studio and it became my full-time job. I love to create and with photography, I get to create all kinds of things. I also still do events as well and did my very first Art Show recently showing off my work. I continue to grow and learn new things everyday to better myself and help others.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Life is full of struggles, my biggest one was losing my Mom to Alzheimer’s. She was always my biggest supporter in everything I did so losing that was not easy. I have often been doubted so I had to get used to doing things for myself and not caring what others thought.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am now a full-time photographer so I create portraits, toy photography, and more. I am also known for training models and doing events like Fashion shows and live music events. I also have a Talk show and an Author. I am proud of everything I have done. Every single thing has been a journey and a great achievement.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
I will always work hard to achieve my goals and stay positive the entire time.
