Photographer in Lake Forest, California

Hello! I’m Mason. A photographer, graphic designer, and videographer living in Orange County, CA. My career started in Cincinnati Ohio 4 years ago when I bought my first camera. I went out into the city and started shooting everything I possibly could. People, buildings, animals, cars, etc. It didn’t matter what I was shooting I just couldn’t get enough of it. At this time I was a world touring DJ for Atlantic Records with a band by the name of R2C. Once the tour was over money was slow and I was spending a lot of time taking pictures instead of spinning records. So I thought to myself, if I love taking pictures so much more than working with music, could I make a career being a photographer? I needed a better camera, more experience, and more money. On this day I decided to go into a local store named The Village Market. I took photos of the store and products in the store and then proceeded to go home. That night I edited the photos and photoshopped them into an instagram feed as well as making a temporary website with the photos I took. I then brought the work in the next day to the store owner and told them they could take the next step for their store and I would manage their website and social media for a fee. It Worked! I managed The Village Market online and got paid for it! This was the most freeing and enlightening experience I had. From there I started doing this all over the place, leading to more connections, jobs, and I was having fun while doing it! I recently decided to move to California to see whats in store for me, hopefully I can be of use to your company and learn even more!
