Rising Stars: Meet Charles Nguyen of Overland Park

Today we’d like to introduce you to Charles Nguyen

Hi Charles, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I currently live in Kansas City Missouri. My journey into photography began 15 years ago, driven by a deep passion for capturing life’s precious moments. This year, I decided to transform my love for photography into a full-time career, specializing in street photography and travel. I find immense joy in documenting the unique and fleeting moments of my clients’ lives.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
As a photographer, the journey can definitely have its ups and downs! For me, I have faced challenges like navigating changes in the industry, adapting to new technologies, or dealing with fluctuating client demands. The shift to digital and social media has also transformed how we market ourselves and connect with clients.

Also, learning about how businesses work & figuring out my own marketing strategy has been all new to me.

They give me the chance to reflect on the memories and share my perspective with others.
