Episode 41 - Annie Talks with Andrei Duman | Award-Winning Travel and Landscape Photographer | Up fr

As we continue with the entrepreneur series, I also feature entertainers, performers, musicians and creative artists and we talk about projects their working on and so on. Now my next guest is not only a successful entrepreneur, but he is also a creative artist, an award-winning travel and landscape photographer based in Los Angeles, California -- ANDREI DUMAN. Originally from Romanian and transplanted in the United States, Andrei moved to New York for several years before settling in LA where he currently lives with his wife. He began his career as a semi-professional tennis player before moving on to investment banking. He has visited well over 80 countries so far and while on his travels, Andrei has captured some of the most spectacular photos you will ever see filled with unbelievable vibrant, stunning, rich and beautiful colors. His photos are clean, powerful and evocative: encouraging the viewer to look beyond what is right in front of them to the scale and breadth of what surrounds us. Andrei also holds unique workshops -- get this, on location in some of the most exciting and exotic locations as well as 1-on-1 private instructions. And...guess what? You get to select the DESTINATION! You will love hearing about all these beautiful countries and locations he's visited. I tell you, I live vicariously through him. I can only dream of places like these -- and yet, he's made his dream come true! So so so exciting! My takeaways from talking with Andrei are: 1) Never be afraid to try something new or something different. Take a chance, be adventurous and ambitious. Step out of your comfort zone. This not only applies to photography or landscape photography but EVERY aspect of life, right? It may not be what you expected -- you could have a vision of how things will play out in your mind, but until you actually put words and thoughts into action, you will never know if it's successful. If it fails, so what...it fails...learn from it, regroup, revamp, and go back out and do it again. 2) Get out and explore: You may have a scenario of what you think you're meant to do in life, whether that's pursuing a career in technology, teaching, or a mechanic -- exploring options can lead to surprising passions. In Andrei's case, he started as a semi-professional tennis player but through his travels as a professional athlete, he discovered his passion for photography and now he's an award-winning, sought-after, in-demand travel and landscape photographer. I hope you found his story inspirational and motivational! I know I certainly did!
