Iyke Zachariah: A Journey from Engineering Dreams to Photography Success
Hailing from the southern region of Western Australia, Iyke Zachariah's story is one of bold decisions, passion-driven pursuits, and the transformative power of customised photography programs.
After graduating high school, Iyke embarked on a journey northward to Curtin University to pursue his career in engineering. While navigating the demands of university life, he found himself working full-time at a local fish and chip shop to make ends meet. It was during his first semester at Uni that fate led him to stumble upon Perth Photography's Custom Photography Courses on Facebook—an opportunity that would change the trajectory of his career.
Intrigued by the prospect of turning his favourite pastime, photography, into a business, Iyke wasted no time and arranged a meeting with DC at the PerthPhotography.com studio. The free consultation revealed the exciting possibilities of establishing a photography business with DC's guidance. It became clear to Iyke that, with support, he could transition from his fish and chip job to a career in photography—a prospect that promised much more fun in his daily endeavours.
As the lessons progressed, Iyke recognized the need for sacrifice to achieve his dream. Juggling a full-time job, first-year engineering studies, and dedicating himself to the photography program proved challenging. Realising the limitations of time, Iyke made a significant decision—he deferred his engineering degree to focus entirely on the tailored photography program designed to complement his uniqueness. It was a choice between practicality and passion, and he chose the latter.
With newfound time and energy, Iyke closely collaborated with DC, immersing himself in the intricacies of the photography business. Following DC to actual work experiences, Iyke had the privilege of shooting side by side with a seasoned professional, gaining invaluable insights and building his portfolio from real client interactions.
Within a remarkably short span of 5 weeks into coaching and mentoring, Iyke secured his first paid photography job. The momentum only grew, and in just 4 months, he was landing regular gigs every week. This rapid growth prompted him to bid farewell to his fish and chips job, making the leap to become a full-time photographer—all achieved before the age of 20, a testament to his relentless dedication to the program crafted for him.
