Meet Jordan Murray of Charlotte

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordan Murray.

Hi Jordan, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’ve always been fond of capturing photos, but I didn’t pursue it. My uncle became a photographer, and I learned that my great-grandfather was also a commercial photographer. Seeing this inspired me to pursue it. I went to a pawn shop in 2016 and bought a starter camera. One of my friends mentored me and taught me how to shoot in a manual; the rest was history. I’ve been shooting for 6 years and operating as a business for 4 years. I picked up videography about 5 years ago and added that to the arsenal. I do many photo/video shoots for products, portraits, events, weddings, music videos, and more.

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My biggest hurdle was the financial commitment to investing in my business. I built this business indecently and needed someone to assist with the cost. So, I had to book many photo shoots, save money, and be smart about what equipment I purchased. However, I’m thankful for that struggle because it forced me to maximize what I had and to be creative. Sometimes, I reflect on that time to draw inspiration for creating better content.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a photographer and videographer. I’m very versatile with the work I do. If I could have a preference, it would be music videos for RnB artists and fashion/brand photography. I am most proud of the growth in my work. I truly feel like I challenge myself to produce better content with every shoot. What sets me apart is my professionalism and my attention to detail. I strive to give customers the best customer service I can. I want people to feel good about working with me and choosing me to capture their vision. I want people to be confident that they made the right choice when they booked me.

How can people work with you, collaborate with you, or support you?
If you want to work with me, the best way to do that is to book me. I’m always open to collaborating with other artists and models, and I take on a wide array of work. The best way to support me is by sharing my work on social media @j.edwardphotography on Instagram.
