Today we’d like to introduce you to Joe Ramos.
Hi Joe, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
While working for corporate America, “AT&T,” I was promoted to a position that required me to travel a lot. So I bought a camera. I was then approached to do product photography for a company in CA. That was five years ago. I left AT&T, was recruited for cybersecurity, and then got laid off. That was about three years ago. I couldn’t find a job because I was overqualified, having both a degree and my own business. At which point, I decided to search within myself and find my path. After my divorce, I was basically forced to leave town and decided to open a photography meetup group in Chicago. I wanted a way to meet new people in my new town.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
My road has not been without its obstacles, but it has also taught me that nothing is real. We all have to make our own choices and live with our decisions. Hence, giving me the insight and ability to be real with myself and others. (Empathy.) One of the many challenges is finding customers, LOL right? 🙂 Now, with outside the box mentality and being of servitude to others, the universe gives me something to be grateful for. What’s that? Freedom!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a creative director. I specialize in short film for other artists, entrepreneurs, and commercial work for brands. I am known for my innovation and creative vision. I am most proud, as an immigrant, to be able to relate to many walks of life. This allows me to create from a strategic perspective, mixed with innovation I am able to remain several steps ahead of others, based off relationship building.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Original curated content and authenticity is key. The industry knows this, so their algorithms are now set to show favor to those who spend the time on their craft. Big shifts, changes, and trends only happen when people copy and we don’t do that here. Because original curated content and authenticity is key!
