You know the adage: A picture’s worth a thousand words. With e-commerce, your clients have a nanosecond to size up your company from the visuals you provide either on your website or in here-to-stay swell of social media. What words are your clients hearing from your company’s images.
Brand as a word has evolved from the days of Gloria Vanderbilt to a corporate necessity defining the way companies position themselves in the marketplace. Today, leaders in industry are choosing to invest in commercial brand photography to succinctly represent their unique brand with images that tell their story instantly and honestly. With powerful commercial photography comes a clear message for your website, business collateral and social media presence.
Doing commercial photojournalism gives me the wonderful opportunity to make impactful impressions for my clients. In the corporate realm, I get to be an interpreter and storyteller with my camera. I interpret companies brand and take images that represent them for their business marketing needs. I read people. And people make the company. That’s why innovative companies like Talent Revolution and Nextvoice247 hired me to hop up their marketing with relevant images.
Brand Cohesion in the words of Chicago visionary Gilbert Melott, founder of Nextvoice247.
Being a photographer gives me the pleasure of getting to know the people I work with, genuinely. Commercial photography is getting a whole lot cooler. Working with the cool folks at Nextvoice247 & Talent Revolution rocked and was a great reminded why I LOVE my job.

May I have your attention, please! In a new emerging leader interview, I was given an opportunity I simply could not pass up: to interview the very experienced and successful entrepreneur John Heaven (thanks so much to Matt Caldecutt! Follow him http://twitter.com/mcaldecutt). John is the President and CEO of Yangaroo, a technology company based in Canada that provides customers with its patented Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS). Yangaroo has been making headlines recently as they were named to the Canadian Business Top 100 Tech Firms and landed a deal with The Grammy Awards!
John has quite the background too. He has started 3 successful companies and played an instrumental role in successfully taking two companies public; including the $10MM Telepanel Systems Inc. where he served as the CFO.
In the interview, John talks about the exciting evolution of Yangaroo and their awesome story, the geographic and core business expansion of his company, and the re-branding of a young start-up into an industry leading company with patented technology and The Grammy Awards as a client. I also asked John about the advantages of being involved in the Canadian start-up scene. At the end of the interview, John gives his best advice to aspiring leaders, young entrepreneurs, and Generation Y as a whole.
Many thanks to John Heaven and I hope you enjoy the interview!

Selfless Tees is a lifestyle brand and clothing company on a social mission. The company crowd-sources its designs and gives a percentage of profits to partners, which are charities and nonprofits.

In my interview, Danny talks about his awesome experience in Africa and how he sold t-shirts to fund the trip and donate mosquito nets to people in need. Finally, Danny talks about the reward and advantages he sees from starting a company in college. The way he has grown from and applied his leadership experience in Africa and as a successful football player to his entrepreneurial pursuits has positioned him as an emerging leader.
