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

Hi Isaac, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Starting my own business was something that i thought all the time. in all the years in my endeavors as a photographer it seemed like the next stop towards a more professional path in my career.

It’s a very complex path because of many things but in a overall experience it feels very gratifying and exciting!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
my art as an photographer gravitates around people and their cultural nuances. i am very proud of being able to translate how i see what revolves around me and translate it into my art which ends up being photography and video. being involved professionally wasn’t that hard for me, however it’s been a wild ride especially when it comes to prove your spot in the industry. At first it was kinda hard to push in my work because it seemed like the wrong avenue to pursue when it comes to the comercial approach, but suddenly that handicap became my selling point. Customers reached up to me looking for the “Different point of view” and my career as a photographer and creative director started catapulting in the local scene. I feel that a big lesson that ive learned after all these years is that I trusted my gut and my vision so adamantly that it paid off. I want the world to see my work as a reflection of my upbringing and experiences.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
i would show them all the beach points on my country… starting in Venao Beach, the vibe there, the essence and their people… its just something magical.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to give a huge shoutout to all the people that have supported me throughout these 10 years of career.
