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

Hi Isaiah, what role has risk played in your life or career?
For me taking a risk is everything to get you to the next level. If you never risk anything, how would you know what you are really capable of? I quit my job and moved to Atlanta over night. And since being here I know this was gods plan! best decision ever!!

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.
My art is my vision. the way I see life through my lens. what set me apart from others is i don’t see competition. I believe we all creative in our own way and I rather be inspired then to be blind with hate. Im always proud of showcasing my work and getting feed back good or bad. I feel all criticism is good because I can decide myself how I’m going to go about it. I don’t believe nothing in life worth having is easy. but working hard for something and achieving it is what makes it all worth it. Ive learned no matter what keep working and keep your head up its always going be bad days but that’s just going make you appreciate the good day so much more. What I want the world to no about me is I never gave up. I woke up put a smile on my face and got to it. Far as my brand I feel in love with photography when I notice I can capture moments in time that’s going last a lifetime and generations to come.

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?
Well it all depends on where I’m living at the moment. Since I’m in ATL I’m going give you the run down out here. First place we will go is Toast for brunch. I’m a big foodie and they have the best chicken and sweet potato-waffles. Second I probably take them through Lenox mall cause who don’t like to shop when they in a new city. After that well go to the photography studio so I can show boat a lil bit where the magic happens lol. for dinner well probably wanna be fancy so well go to Poor Calvins to eat. Definitely top 5 dinner locations in Atlanta. Next spot well go to will be copper cove for drinks and a vibe they have the best Brooklyn Tea which is mixed with dusse. but to end the night we probably go to a location that over looks the city and take it all in.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
So though my journey I have had a couple ppl that inspired and help me to chase my dreams and perfect my craft! My first shout out will be to my father for putting the camera in my hand. Second will be my mentor Profis Kev. He showed me how to do graphics and first had to being a real entrepreneur. He really the first one who showed me I can work for myself and make a living from it. Third will be my close friend Ariel Perry who inspired me to start taking photography more serious. Last but not least I wanna give a shout to to Royal Eyes one of the best if not the best photographer that gave me the opportunity to shadow and learn more about studio photography, being I’m more of a natural light Photographer.
