Karl Ferguson Jr.

Karl is able to do exactly thatby working conjunction with his love for shooting portraits. An easy look at the website will leave amazed by the amount of famous faces he's captured in the world of entertainment. The presence of Karl on the web allows him to showcase his work to many users quickly. "One among the best instruments is the dynamic approach that allows me to move between images, and then organize in a flash." Karl says.

The significance of community is one of the main factors in the growth of Karl's photography. Collaboration among others Black photographers has given him an opportunity to share ideas in a field that can sometimes be isolated. Karl hopes to give the same back in the world of professional photography, so that he can create the same type of community to the brightest creatives within the industry. "Paying it forward implies that I'm there," Karl says. Sharing his own personal experiences and knowledge, Karl hopes to help other creatives become the best that they could be.

If you asked him what advice he would tell the younger version of him who's starting out in photography, Karl's advice is this: "Don't get so intense that you stop yourself from taking pictures. Be relaxed and having fun with doing what you love is the best method to become a photographer."

The Black Corporate

Social Media Consultant and Ambassador Candace Marie is the founder of Black In Corporate Black In Corporate, a community that acts as the voice of Black employees in the business world. The concept for Black In Corporate was born out of her own experiences in workplaces where racism is a system that has made it more difficult for Black employees to be successful. "While Black In Corporate was result of my personal personal experiences," Candace says, "a significant reason for the founding of the nonprofit was that I realized that there was a lot of Black residents of my community that had similar experiences, even though their experiences weren't exactly the same as my personal experiences."

One of the bases Black In Corporate stands on is its virtual mentorship program that provides Black professionals with access to resources, opportunities and collaboration. The Black In Corporate website has played a major role in communicating the advantages of this program to the intended audience of customers. "While the media and social media can be significant reasons for visitors to the site however the gorgeous style and easy navigation within the site keep our visitors entertained and engaged," Candace says about the benefits of their site.

The phrase "it is a team effort" is particularly true in the case of Candace and her experience of founding Black In Corporate. The company's success was made possible by the help of mentors, sponsors and mentors along with relatives and friends who supported to support her throughout the process of the business. There are many avenues that Candace is now able to provide the same support for Black professionals. "This process isn't enough by itself," she says. "Whenever I can offer some ideas, take part in a panel discussion or even introduce myself anyone who's a good friend I'm eager to assist other Black persons in this industry."

Alongside accepting new roles such as producer as well as creative director, travel show host, Elton also launched the Creators of Color which is a platform for telling the stories of Black artists across a vast range of industries.

For Elton the adjustments is one of the most important aspects of creative processes.
