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

Hi Robtaevious, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Honestly, it came from being let down to many times in the industry. I started acting back in 2013. I had my first ever MAJOR acting gig in my first year of being in the business. I was on TV One’s “Fatal Attraction” and I portrayed Ryan Holness. After experiencing that, I thought that all of my filming experiences would be just as great as that was. I can’t even count the number of projects that I have been apart of that we filmed for weeks upon months and the projects NEVER came out. It was upsetting and disappointing. After experiencing that so many times, I made it top priority that when Ry Media Company was born, that I would NEVER do that to the actors and actresses that gave me their time and trusted me with their talents. Every single project that we filmed, we released. Every project in the future that we film will be released. That is something that I stand by and all of this was a big driving force behind starting Ry Media Company.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Ry Media Company and Ry Media Company Sports are both my companies. Ry Media Company is a multimedia company. We deal with everything photography, videography, and graphic related. The thing I’m most proud of about Ry Media Company is that we are still here and still growing. We’ve grown so much over these last 4 years and I’m beyond thankful for that. I’m thankful for every client that has booked with us. It definitely hasn’t been an easy road, but it has been so worth it. Ry Media Company Sports was actually formed in 2023. I LOVE sports. I’m a junkie. My favorite sport is football. College football to be more specific. I wanted to get into doing sports photography, but honestly I ran from it for so long. I don’t know why but I did. At the start of the 2023 season, I stopped running and I stepped into the sports photography game. I started to shoot high school football games and everything rolled from there. I’ve covered so many dope games. I was able to cover Camellia Bowl game between Northern Illinois and Arkansas State that was on ESPN. I’ve covered plenty of football, basketball, baseball, and track competitions but that ESPN game is definitely my favorite accomplishment right now.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
It’s really SO MANY things to do here in Atlanta. It’s hard to point out one specific thing because there are so many options. Everything from Six Flags to laser tag, iFly, different museums, the Coca Cola Factory, the Georgia Aquarium, College Football Hall of Fame, the options are there. The same goes for food. Whatever the plan is though, gotta end it with some photos by Ry Media Company.

My daughters for being my motivation. My mom, my pops, my sister, and my brother in law. My brother in law is the business man that I am working to be. Can’t forget about my mentor Narfunda of 1033 Photography. Whenever I am slacking or not on my game, I can always count on her to snap me back into grind mode.
