We had the good fortune of connecting with Alex Frederick and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Alex, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
For our platform Ghost Studios, the most important factor I can say is having a solid team to set a good foundation. Having my colleges Jose Saldana, Emmanuel Saldana, and Juan Tamayo (@houstoncarenthusiast) around has been a great blessing. The amount support, advice, and most importantly friendship is priceless. While sharing the same visons in the photography world, yet able to bring 4 different art perspectives and shooting styles that we’re able to meet and exceed every demand we face. Overall, in the end result most importantly we’re able to push and motivate each other to reach new heights!
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
We are Ghost Studio’s, a team of 4 Jose Saldana, Emmanuel Saldana, Juan Tamayo, and I Alex Frederick. We originally started in a local car club, the Audi Club of Houston. As we continued to attend more group gatherings, we found that we all had an interest in photography. From there we started attending other car meets to take photos of cars. As time passed, we’re able to network, obtain more equipment, and grow experience in the field. Not just only for cars, we now offer photo and video content services for Events, Weddings, Portraits, Businesses, Real Estate, and Products to name a few! Our journey did come with bumps in the road, such as acquiring new equipment, new clients which became a great challenge in the beginning. We overcame these bumps from supporting each other and pushing to accomplish the goals we set. One of the biggest lessons I can say we learned is having patience’s. Creating art and communicating with the end client has no room for rushing. With the amount passion and patience’s we have for the art, I believe that is what sets us apart. We carry four different perspectives and styles to meet our clients demands.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
For sure visit and check out good eats at City Centre, Chinatown, Memorial City, and the Katy area. Can’t forget Top Golf, Axe Throwing, and riding scoters to explore downtown. Would also visit a couple of car cruise’s and meets while they’re here, Houston day life has a lot to offer!
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Would like to give a big shoutout to Jose Saldana, Emmanuel Saldana (@ghost_studios_) and Juan Tamayo (@houstoncarenthusiast)! They gave me the push to get into Content Creating, the motivation to invent my own style and to try new things! With our 4 years+ as a team, the amount of support given cannot be described good enough in words. In result of that, I have to give a big Thank You for how far we’ve come! Also want to give an extended shoutout to the GOAT Chat Family, y’all know who you are! The amount of motivation, support, and push for success pouring out of one space for each other, cannot be compared to no other!
