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

Hi Rodolphe, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
At first, it started as a hobby, but with time, i got better at it. As demands started to come by, i told myself that maybe i should start charging people for the service

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.
I am really proud of the fact that each work is better than the previous one. what sets me apart is perhaps the natural look of my retouch and also its easy for clients to communicate me which makes the experience go smoothly. It was definitely not easy, it took a lot of trial an error, a lot of asking people to pose here and there a lot of rejection but, i am definitely getting somewhere, I learned that humility is key, i see some others in the field minimize others but i al ways remember that i never started at my level, i had to build it. I want the world to know that effort and consistency really help, don’t compare to others but always try to be better than you were yesterday.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My biggest fans, they know who they are. Each and every person that takes the time to encourage and push me in any way. And those who support from afar.
