Exploring Life & Business with Andrew Fox of Odd Pheonix Media

Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrew Fox.

Hi Andrew, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures and have had ideas for photo shoots of certain cars or certain places. I got my first camera a few years (the same one I still have today!) I started to take pictures and post them on my Instagram for fun. Over the years, I started following other people on Instagram that had photo businesses and thought that was something I could do! So, I messaged one of them that I started following for advice and they were super helpful and informative! I also had a logo created and made a business email for people to message me for photo shoots. It hasn’t really taken off yet, but I’ve loved doing it and feel like, over the years, I’ve really gotten some amazing pictures! 

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road has been relatively smooth, I’d say. The only struggles I’ve really had is that it hasn’t taken off, but it’s also been just a fun side thing I’ve been doing for a few years. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Odd Pheonix Media?
Odd Pheonix Media is my photography business. (Yes, I know it’s spelt wrong, and that’s on purpose) I’ve been taking pictures for a few years now but have only had one customer in that time a free photo shoot for someone who had just bought a new jeep! I’ve been told I have a real good eye for creative and good shots. I specialize in automotive photography and sometimes take pictures of nature. What sets me apart from others is that if we set up an appointment, I will do my best to accommodate to both of our schedules and make sure I get the best quality pictures of your vehicle! I’m most proud of some of the really good pictures I’ve taken over the years and the places I’ve gone because I wanted to get good pictures of those places. Odd Pheonix Media is a one-man band. I offer nature photography and automotive photography but am open to trying other types of photography! 

Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
There are 2 people that come to mind! My best friend Adam, who also has a camera and has been taking pictures for years as well he was part of the inspiration for me to get into photography and actually found the camera that I bought! The other person is my amazing fiancé! She’s always very helpful with my selection process when going through and editing photos!
