Social media influencer Dark Joseph Ravine, who manages the online business, and movement, Kindness for Success, has recently decided to enter the field of photography to add to his collection of photos as an influencer. This has afforded him an incredible start to a new life filled with creative portraits. With a tripod on board, Ravine noted that photography has its unique challenges. Ravine’s camera, the Canon EOS Rebel T8i, offers high-quality photos and video taping. This camera was a real game changer and has granted many opportunities for Ravine.
During his photo shoots, many people asked Ravine if he was interested in becoming a model. Ravine, although, does not particularly care about externals. Instead, he regularly takes photographs for his social media platforms and blogs.
He is also a strong believer in owning your own unique appearance. Ravine says, “It is important for models to be proud of how they look because that is how they were created. We need to learn to be kind not only to ourselves but to our bodies. More people need to learn to respect and appreciate how they look.”
Consequently, his love for photography and videography was born. Ravine says, “The best thing about buying a camera is that I am able to flip it and use it as a selfie, which is much more beneficial for photoshoots and videos.” After several photo shoots, Ravine no longer needs a photographer. “I can go to many places, take photos and film myself at many unique locations wherever and whenever I want to. I figured that owning my own camera would save thousands on photoshoots. The only responsibility I have now is to keep the camera in good condition. I have saved so much money doing it this way. Not to mention the hassle of meeting photographers at their location. The freedom that owning my own equipment has given me is second to none.”
There are many facets to being a media influencer and business owner. One of the most important factors of success in business is in knowing how to reduce expenses. Ravine notes, “Not only have we reduced costs by purchasing a professional camera, but our team is also enjoying the creativity of finding new places for photographs, sharing visions of future endeavors.” It’s a new journey for Ravine and his team. “It’s also a new creative outlet,” notes Ravine. “Finding the right lighting and the right angle is an art in itself. Professional photos and videos make a huge difference in social media success, and the process is simpler when you have the equipment wherever you are to achieve the results you want.”
Ravine never fails to spark inspiration through his continuous process of learning and innovating. With photography opening up a new chapter in his life, fans of the social media influencer look forward to what the creative has in store for the future.
