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

Hi Ayisha, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I started taking photos of my friends and random locations. After learning the fundamentals of my camera, I started attending concerts, special events, and networking with new photographers. I also invested many hours learning the fundamentals of editing and different photography and videography techniques. After spending endless hours traveling and building my portfolio, I made the decision to invest everything in my photography and videography business. I created my website, www.creativearcphotography.com, to display my portfolio. I also began selling my company online. I am pleased with all of my achievements and I am eager to see what 2023 has in store for me.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets me apart from other photographers or videographers is my dedication to perfection of my art. Nothing worth wild is easy. I got to where I am in my business by working hard and being dedicated to my business success. A lesson I learned is that hard work pays off and to never give up. I want the world to know that I always have faith that everything will work out.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The first place I would take my best friend to visit would be to get brunch at Kitchen and Kocktails located in downtown Dallas and grab dinner at Kiss restaurant. Depending on the day they arrive in town I would suggest we check out a local concert and afterwards go to either Citizen or Theory nightclub.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Nicolet Nathan my best friend and sorority sister
