<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cI\u2019m a very inclusive person that welcomes everyone, no matter what,\u201d Holliman said. \u201cI think everyone deserves to feel beautiful and [be] seen, and I hope that comes through my work. That\u2019s why I do what I do; I just want to make people feel beautiful in their own skin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior photos are at the top of his favorites list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cShooting senior photos is one of my favorites because I can relate to them and connect with them in a certain way because that was me not that long ago. I think it\u2019s just such a fun and exciting time in your life. It\u2019s fun to work with seniors. For some, it\u2019s their first time doing professional photos, and it\u2019s always a good time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\u2019s not kidding when he says it wasn\u2019t long ago that he was the senior. It was 2015 when he received his first camera, and Holliman graduated from Cascade High School in 2019. Except for one early nine-to-five job, Holliman has been his own boss from day one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m honestly very proud of myself. I feel accomplished, even though there\u2019s [a lot] more to go,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Holliman\u2019s photography has a New York fashion quality that could easily transcend small-town boundaries. He\u2019s happy at home in this season of life but doesn\u2019t rule out a change down the road. With an ultimate goal of photographing the cover of Vogue, each shot takes him closer to his dream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI love the idea of a small town, the people, and everybody knowing each other. But I eventually want to move somewhere and expand my name and business,\u201d he said. \u201cI have built such a good clientele, friends, and [relationships with] other creators along the way, and I\u2019m not ready to give that up yet.\u201d GN <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A CAMERA\u2019S VIEWFINDER in the hands of a shy, awkward 14-year-old became the portal to a successful professional photography career for Shelbyville\u2019s Nelson Holliman.
