Meet Brooklyn Jones | Photographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brooklyn Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brooklyn, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Starting a business can be stressful. Weighing the benefits and disadvantages, dangers, and other factors can be so onerous that many promising entrepreneurs give up before they ever begin. We asked these incredible entrepreneurs how they came up with the idea for their own company. We hope that by making the thought process less scary, we might encourage more people to consider whether they should take the entrepreneurial leap. Running a business is like riding a roller-coaster, you have your ups and down and all you can do is just prepare your self

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
When I initially started photography, I had no idea how things should look, but as time passes, you learn from your mistakes, whether professionally or just studying the industry of your business. I made sure that my art represented myself and no one else because that is a significant part of starting your own business. Nothing about running or creating is easy, but being able to problem solve along the way will build so much character development and open your mind to creativity and new opportunities

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend came to visit, I would absolutely take her to a museum because I am obsessed with art and learning about it and I would love to share that interest with her.  Trying new restaurants and being able to create would be my vibe. My best friend and I would also go downtown and explore in order to duplicate ideas that other people could find interesting.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I am grateful to everyone with whom I have shared my journey with; there have been so many individuals who have supported me simply by offering me words of encouragement, sharing and enjoying my photos, and even wanting to be my model so that I may acquire more experience taking photos. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my family and friends for their support over the last three years of my journey, with a special thanks to my biggest supporter, Aunusti Hellams, who encourages me to never give up no matter how many times I say I’m done, and I thank you for pushing me through every difficult challenge I’ve faced.
