Today we’d like to introduce you to Waddell Richardson.
Hi Waddell, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I Started Photography At The Age Of 11 With A Mini Olympus Camera, Telling Everyone I Was A Photographer & Starting With Middle School Sports. I Kept Selling Myself & You Know Kids They Say They’re Gonna Do Something But Don’t Really Stick To It & Adults Don’t Really Believe It. Fast Forward I Event Did Upgrade To A DSLR Camera & Have Been Progressing Since. Having Going To College At Living Arts College For Interactive Being I Sparked An Interest In TV Production After Learning The Behind The Scenes Of One Of My Favorite TV Shows. I Currently Now Work At Lifetouch/Prestige Portraits & Aspire To Work As A Model Photographer With A Career In TV Broadcasting Or Radio. I Love This Field Because It Gives Me A Chance To Inspire People To Look At Life From A Different Prospective Inspire of What They’re Facing. My Goal Is To Show People It’s Okay To be Different & it’s Okay To Love. God Made Us All Special & There’s nothing Wrong With That Or You.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Oh No Not At All. I Can Honestly Say There Have Been Challenges. Such As Finding My Niche, Dealing With Personal Issues Such As Health & Grief & Other Obstacles. Nevertheless Thanks To God & Some Close Friends & Family Along With Some Positive Influences I Never Lost The Focus Of My Dream. & Goals Although Some Days I Definitely Didn’t Think I’d Make It This Far But I Still Have Further To Go
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?
Currently I Do Photography, Short Films, Vlogs & Production, Podcasting & Graphic Design. On The Side I Am A Tech Support. I Specialize in Modeling & School Photography. I Am Known For being An All Around Photographer & A Infamous Podcaster. I Am Most Proud Of Probably My Progression In Photography & How far My Podcast Has Evolved & How It’s Reaching People. It’s Not The Biggest Show But In My Head It Is. I’m Also Proud Of Who Is With Me & Inspiring Me To Better Myself & The People’s Lives I Have Touched. It’s Humbling To Know Someone Is Watching My Journey. What Sets Me Apart Is I’m Not Afraid To Be Different Or Show People That They’re Different. Inspire Of The Looks, Obstacles & Outcomes I Like Me & If I’m Not Happy Within Myself I Can’t Have Happiness Anywhere Else
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Keep God First & Understand He’s The One Who Knows All. That Joy You Get From Within Can Take You A Long Way. Find Happiness Within Yourself First Then In Little Things. Little Things Can Build Up To Make A Big Outcome.
