Meet Antoine “ Light “ Wiley | Creative Director | Producer | Photographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Antoine “ Light “ Wiley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Antoine “ Light “, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Freedom , Being able to independently stand on my own two. I wanted something that I could be able to enjoy, have control, and be somewhat of an inspiration to others in a long lasting way. Being able to permanently leave a positive impression on someone and the fact that photography is most of the time is a timeless thing, it’ll be something they’ll never forget. I’ve always been great at customer service, so I thought why I not do it on my own. Amazing customer service is a pillar for great long lasting businesses , I had that so I knew I could do it on my own.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
As far as the Business the thing that I am most proud of is the growth even if it’s small, celebrating the little things is always exciting. Pushing myself helped me get where I am along with my support system even when I was down and almost out. Networking and being open to others positive and negative feedback and advice helped get the business where it is, because it was not easy at all. To overcome the problems and situations it took strong communication and commitment within myself and all glory to God for the reminders to not quit.

The Lesson I’ve learned is to never stop growing, there’s always more knowledge no matter how much you think you know and that perspective is everything not just in taking a picture but in life.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
This Question is Tough because I’m a homebody But I love to go to Cidarcade for a nostalgia gaming Arcade, Or a chill spot like Electric Feel Good for a few drinks and bites

Or Galleria Food Truck park.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I have two people the first is my wife, Alisha Wiley. She wouldn’t believe it but she is extremely influential in all things I create or do. She is legitimately my backbone and my third eye when it comes to all my projects and creations.

The person that deserves a little credit and Recognition is my brother Roy T Williams ( Gospel Artist & Photographer) He is the Owner of Pure Image Houston & Co-Owner with me of The Beyond Studio. Outstanding Business partner and a Great Go to in moments of Iron Sharpening Iron in Business and in Life.
