Why I Started Wynn Media
As an Asheville native, I have always wanted to help people in my community in any way I can. Growing up in Leicester, a suburb of Asheville, I was exposed to the wonderful people here as my family always pushed my brothers and me to be active in sports. This was where I learned my love for the game basketball and pursued that as one of my main hobbies as I moved into the Erwin school system. At Erwin High School I played basketball for the varsity team, but also dipped my feet into the creative space by joining the school’s choir where my love for music really shined. After graduating I began to explore the musical side of myself and that’s where I discovered my love for cameras.
At first, I was just messing around with the camera because I made music but had no one to shoot videos for me so my friends and I did it ourselves. I also discovered my love for editing videos since we didn’t have the money to pay someone to edit so I took it upon myself to edit my first few videos in Final Cut Pro. Since there were not a lot of rappers in the Asheville area my videos got a lot of love and I started thinking this was something else I could do in case my music didn’t take off.
Over the years I upgraded my equipment and finally, in 2020 I got myself a Sony a7iii and some decent glass and began to really focus on making this my full-time job. I began by shooting music videos for artists like Leequan, Laz, and other Asheville rappers to gain some experience and build my portfolio. I moved over to Adobe Premiere and learned to edit like the pros and my hard work started to pay off. In October of 2020, I was given the opportunity to shoot a wedding for a family member of an old classmate of mine. This was where I fell in love with wedding videography. Helping capture the most beautiful moment of this couple’s life was something I was glad I had a part in and solidified my love for weddings.
So why did I start my own media company? One short answer: I love what I do. Taking an idea, whether it be a music video, video promotion, or a wedding, and seeing it through to the end is what makes my job exciting. I never know what will go right or wrong and that keeps me on my toes and loving what I do. If you are in the Asheville, NC area and need video (or photo) work my company, Wynn Media, would love to have you reach out and we can get started on your next project.
