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

Hi Andre, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I started out as a fashion stylist! I would ask the client to send me a picture of the outfit so I could post it on my social media. They would either send a horrible photo or not send one at all so I decided to invest in a camera and take their pics myself!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I just studied the ins and out of photography! It’s all about trial and error. Get it wrong in the beginning , so you can get it right in the future! I did free shoots to practice and get more familiar with my equipment! Once I found a style I practiced on perfecting it. I am able to shoot with natural light as well as artificial light and not many photographers are good at both! Also being able to edit the images is key!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Downtown Chattanooga, has tons of restaurants and bars! We could slide to any of them! No matter where we end up we are guaranteed to have a good time! But here lately, Johnathan’s has been me and my wife’s go to spot!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Definitely would like to give a shoutout to my wife! She’s been my model, my muse, my promoter and so much more! She’s invested her time and energy into my craft and I can’t thank her enough so big s/o to my wife Shana Robinson
