Meet Denilson Sibrian | Photographer & Videographer

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

Hi Denilson, how do you think about risk?
I think risk taking is the only thing that will take people far in life. I used to not be a risk taker but as I grew up I realized it’s important to, cause if you fail you learned something out of it and possibly even try again. I took the risk of leaving a job to pursue photography and 2 years later I’m still doing what I love.

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.
At first I feel like it was a process that I would never achieve but I’m glad I stayed consistent and didn’t give up. Before I got too serious with photography I actually stopped doing it because I thought it was a waste of time and that nobody would like/see my work but but I’m glad I gave it another shot. I truly do think it’s what saved my life. What’s beautiful about photography is that you can create moments that will last forever. I hope that the photos I take will live forever with my clients and that they can look back at those moments they were in and feel the same emotions they felt wether it was a party, wedding, etc. Along the way I feel like I’m still learning and growing I have not reached my max potential and I’m not sure if I ever will and I think that’s the amazing thing about what I do I’m always looking to be better.

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.
Definitely one day or 2 days spend it walking around downtown. In deep ellum there is this amazing restaurant called Cane Rosso and it’s definitely a place I would take them. Also walk around Klyde Warren park it’s an amazing park with food trucks, sitting areas and even a restaurant. I also would take them to North Park to shop a little and possibly even watch a movie and then to end it definitely go to the Reunion tower to the Geodeck to view the beautiful SkyView of downtown Dallas.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I feel like I don’t give my stepdad Adam enough credit. Growing up until about 5th grade I didn’t really have a father figure, my mom did both but when Adam came into my life at first I was a bit skeptical but he’s always had my back with everything and even gave me his first camera which became my first camera so who knows if I would be where I am today if it wasn’t for Adam. He definitely changed my life and still is. My mom and Adam have been such huge supporters in this journey and I couldn’t thank them enough.
