Today we’d like to introduce you to Johnson Le.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Photography started as a hobby for me in middle school but after my camera got stolen, I had no intentions of purchasing another camera because I couldn’t afford it.
After I quit my job in 2016 I decided to use my last paycheck and decided to start taking pictures again.
It took a lot of trial and error for me to get to where I am today, and even then I’m always trying to take better photos. It takes a lot of dedication, especially when there are so many great photographers in the world, you become your own worst critique.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It was definitely a bumpy road. I was an amateur photographer when I first started and I had a lot of catching up to do if I wanted to survive in the business. Every photo I took, in the beginning, was just “point and click” without any thoughts of composition or a general theme for the image.
I was told that “Art is subjective” but that wasn’t an excuse for me to be taking mediocre photos. So I did a lot of free shoots to force myself to go out and shoot more often.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Zen Photography story. Tell us more about the business.
I am a portrait photographer, I specialize in city, nature, and conceptual portraiture! I’m proud of how far I’ve gotten into photography and how much I’ve improved over the years.
I believe what sets me apart from others is my drive to pursue photography as a career. I’ve seen a lot of people get into photography and never really push themselves to get better.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Honestly, I feel as if it’s just a lot of hard work and self-determination, But I’m lucky to meet the right people at the right time and using that to be able to network with more people.
