Meet Lury Fequiere: Portrait Photographer

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

Hi Lury, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
It all started with a “want” for something more. I had grown up around friends or Family who always instilled the idea that, if you desire something then go after it whole heartedly. So initially, that’s where I chose to start. I enjoyed being this creative and outgoing person, so I looked into how I could utilize that to capitalize. I started seeking out more knowledge based on photography. Asked my self what would people expect from me. I acquired an LLC, which instates that you are the sole proprieter for your brand. What would they to come to find from me? Keeping these questions in mind led me to develop many different ways to capture and edit my photos based upon what a customer desired. I then went on to put these new skillsets to action. I created my site. Incorporated a booking page , contact, biography, and Gallery. I started with friends and family shooting some for free. I built my portfolio and started to gain traffic. Had artist contact me to shoot shows or create covers, which helped me to gain exposure. Ultimately, I know Im not officially where I want to be in my buisness, but the process has led me to know that I will achieve that of which I seek to achieve. Keeping that thought is honestly the biggest take within my thought process behind starting my business.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Nothing is ever easy. There isn’t a major margin Line that sets my photos apart from others besides the fact that I just know what I put into my creations, as well as, what I tend to put out. I embody what I choose to capture. I feel as though creatives have to understand that there are many of us on the planet. If you choose to always be in competition then you’ll never be satisfied, but if you choose to live with peace and common ground you’ll find yourself in Full. Im proud to say that I don’t shoot to be in competition with others. I create because its what I enjoy.

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?
I just want to shoutout everyone who has ever encouraged me to keep going. There are many of you and I can’t just choose a few.
