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

Hi Devonte, how do you think about risk?
I feel that risks are a big part of life. I don’t believe you stumbled upon success without risk, because most success isn’t guaranteed which makes success a literal risk in itself. As far as how it has played a role in my career; I’m actually in the middle of a financial risk betting on myself and my business.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I actually stumbled across my passion for photography by accident. I started YouTube back in 2015. I bought a camera to upload videos, but friends and family offer to pay me to take photos. Which later turn into me launching “DreamShot Images” my photography business. As stated earlier I’m still in the process of growing my business and by no means is it easy. I’ve learned to very patient and proactive in building a brand. I just want to capture moments in time to create good memories of the future for the world to enjoy..

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Seeing that I live in Hattiesburg, Mississippi there isn’t much to do, but we have a hang out spot called “Mugshots” that has amazing burgers and is just a cool place to kick it….other than that I don’t know honestly. We could throw a kick back or something. lol Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Strangely enough, I would like to take this moment to appreciate all my internet friends. They have had a huge impact in my life continuing to encourage and support me in all my low points. Sometimes more than people I know in real life. Lol S/o to SolelyTonia for suggesting me for this interview.
