Today, The Platinum Mask channel would like to introduce Donny Garcia for a conversation.
Hey! Please explain to the audience what you’re promoting.
Im looking to get more publicity for my work and myself as a Photographer and Filmmaker.
What was the biggest obstacle in your journey and how did you overcome it?
My biggest obstacle was learning to network and get out of my comfort zone. Traveling to new places and meeting new people.
What separates you from similar artists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?
I have a passion for what I do and I always go above and beyond to make sure my work is high quality.
Is there anything you wished you would have known earlier in your journey?
I wish I would have started much younger.
Were there any major challenges due to the covid-19 pandemic? How did you overcome them?
Yes, since my specialty is concert and event photography there was a lot of concerts and events shut down so unfortunately that was a setback.
What was your upbringing like and did you discover your passion early on?
I discovered my passion a little over 5 years ago and honestly never thought it would go this far to where it’s brought me.
Do you have a mentor and can you remember any key advice they have given you?
Unfortunately I didn’t have a mentor, luckily I was very driven and motivated so I was able to figure out many things on my own.
Were your friends and family supportive of your mission?
No, actually when I first bought my camera some friends laughed at me for spending so much on a camera. When I told them one day I would be filming and photographing famous artists they laughed. Unfortunately parents weren’t very supportive either but I’m glad that didn’t stop me.
Any links you want to share for the viewers?
