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

Hi Atrion, what do you attribute your success to?
GOD! I’ve had a passion for photography & videography since I was a toddler. I’ve been wanting to start my own business for quite some time now.

Then on July 8, 2020 at 9:51 pm; my mother texted me “God gave me a vision.”

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I believe what sets me apart from others is my versatility and being open-minded. When approached I’m often asked what type of photography I do. My answer will always be EVERYTHING. From boudoir to real estate, as long as I have breath in my body I can do it.

I made it here professionally with hard-work and dedication. Nipsey Hussle once asked “how long until opportunity meets preparation?” My opportunities are just beginning. This journey hasn’t been easy, but God always sends a reminder “what’s for me will always be for me.”

The greatest lesson I’ve learned through this business is don’t worry about those who don’t support you, but be grateful for those who do.

I want the world to know that I’m not just another person with a camera in my hand. Although my business has only been started since 2020, I’ve always had a passion for photography & videography.
I joined the media ministry at the Mount Rose Church when I was 12 years old, I’m currently 25. Being apart of the media ministry, I learned how to take photos, record video, and manage sound systems. The knowledge and skills that I’ve absorbed over the years have been birthed into Clarity Media & Photography.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m blessed to have bestfriends that allow me to be myself. As they know I’m not big on going out I’m always up for a good laugh or two.

My favorite spot in the city happens to be lakeside park in Duncanville. When I have free time I enjoy sitting by the water, listening to nature talk, and reflecting on life. Some times the things that bring you the most peace have no cost.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First, I always want to give a shout out to God who is the head of my life. God has been faithful to me.

I want to give a shoutout to my support system; Destine, Shondrea, Kenneth, Devion, Heston, and Hailey.

Last, but not least I want to give a shoutout to each one of my supporters. Thank you for believing in my gift.
