In the Lived Experiences Podcast season finale, “Love, Lenses, and Leaps of Faith,” Dennis and Tessa from DSTNCT Art Media share their love, art, and determination story. They met at a pageant-style show in Atlantic City and quickly fell in love, leading to a spontaneous elopement in Las Vegas. They faced challenges in their professional lives, with Dennis working for a controlling company and Tessa supporting him through it. They eventually started their own business, DSTNCT Art Media, offering photography, videography, and creative services. They have big dreams for the future, including creating their series and documentaries. Dennis and Tessa discuss the impact of AI on the photography industry and the need for diverse streams of opportunities. They believe that while AI is replacing product and commercial photography, real photography will always need to tell a story and capture the essence of individuals. They emphasize the importance of using technology as an assistant rather than relying on it completely. The couple also shares their business experience together, highlighting the challenges and rewards. They encourage open communication and the ability to separate personal and business lives. They also discuss their approach to photography, promoting body positivity and the importance of confidence and individuality.
