Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in photography but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Oleksandr Lafeta, an Artist & Photographer of O.Lafeta, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Our business is our passion, and it's all about taking pictures. We are able to do many different types of sessions, such as weddings, family sessions, parties, and many others, as photographers do. But that's not our business. Our business is a photograph of the same people from the same circumstances, but separately, we usually make them for the needs of one person. We all need photos, but not everyone knows it...
Tell us about yourself
When I started with photography as a passion, I noticed that I was happy doing it. This is my whole and extremely simple motivation.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
For us, our greatest achievement is a relationship with a person and understanding. Together we make something beautiful, and the effects are visible in various aspects of human life, such as personal and professional life.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
For me, as a photographer, and in the life of photographers, as you know, there are many difficult things to deal with, such as: gaining clients or self-confidence, but the hardest thing was to break myself and start photographing strangers.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- No time to hesitate.
- You'll never know until you try.
- Do you know an effective business creator who did not decide to create a business ;)
