Full name: Donald Watkins
Occupation: Director of Photography; Videographer
WHAT BROUGHT YOU INTO THE FIELD OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY?
We happened upon this field as we tried to find a creative way to market another company that we own called Antigua Graduations. We purchased our very first professional camera with the intention of capturing graduating classes to create content for our social media pages. Word got around that I was a freelance photographer and soon, friends were asking me to capture their weddings. It was not long before we made the decision to officially launch out into this field and we have not looked back since.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS PATH OF STORYTELLING?
We chose this path of storytelling because we wanted our work to stand out; to go beyond just capturing weddings in a generic, traditional way. We wanted our work to be a true representation of our client's stories; an artistic expression of their love.
Anyone can buy a camera and take photographs or stitch clips together to create a film, but if they do not have a good understanding of how to tell a story, they will struggle in this field. This is why it is so very important to us to be known first as storytellers and then media professionals.
