FORMATIVE YEARS

PHOTOGRAPHY
Growing up as a child, I would take pictures with a small camera any place and anything. As I grew older, I got the same habit. Last year, on September 1, I did my first photoshoot for a friend, and I put her pictures on my page, and everyone liked it. So, then I decided to do my own Photography.
A pivotal moment for this 28-year-old occurred in September 2022 when he officially launched his photography business, aptly named “Avi’s Photography.”
Some of Avi’s work:
The journey has not been without its ups and downs, but Avi’s determination to deliver the best possible service has set him apart.
While my business is over a year old, people would message me about the prices. The responses have been quite not good, but we are getting there. I did my first Christmas shoot last year, and the response was great.
What makes me stand out is I take pride in doing my job so I can give you the best pictures and do the best. For next year, my pictures will be much better.
As this photographer reflects on his journey, he imparts a valuable piece of advice:
I would like to add never give up on your dream of what you want to become as long you give it your best shot.
As his business develops, the 28-year-old Berbice resident envisions his photography skills reaching new heights in the coming year. He has committed to continuous improvement and artistic growth.
