📕: THE CONCEPT OF IDENTITY.

INTELLIGENCE. ETHNICITY. INNOVATION.

The importance of LIAM IAN™ is and has been to signify change and transition. Growth and development adhering to a sophisticated pride and drive for being Black—African American and a Man of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. As 2024 was dedicated to “The Dichotomy of…” telling and revealing those dual aspects of who I am, have been and strive to become. 2025 must move beyond just my concepts and ideas to include those of others. The opportunity we see in 2025 is a return to the idea that Art is and must be related to Social Justice and Reform. The attempt to redevelop and evolve the ideas and concepts of Black and Brown People beyond what they are and have become today.

We believe in the potential and capacity of Black and Brown People to lead communities, societies and the world beyond what has been defined for us today. Products of economic, societal and commercial conditions, we find ourselves standing at a place where not only Social Justice must be addressed but Self Identity must as well.

As we work to get more and more into our local communities, we’re reviewing plans to [1] help sponsor and curate exhibits for unconventional and innovative Artworks, [2] launch (or relaunch) a Design consultancy that focuses on high-end progressive Afro and Afro-American ideologies and standards, and [3] develop a Photography service platform that adds to a portfolio for capturing subjects and individuals that should hold significant progressive value to redefining and affecting the culture itself. With Ai and Videography as platforms being worked out, these platforms are slated to compliment and assist all others.

As the goal is still in developing content, media and other IP assets to further encourage and empower People and Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture, 2025 must see a broadening and widening of our ability and scope to produce. While we’re in business we recognize that we can’t be in it for the revenues but to create. To create in catering to our communities. To create in order to innovate and change the narrative of what is, what was and what can be. We’re in it to create and to then bring to market then those creations with honesty and integrity to who and what we are…after we’ve the done the work to become a recognizable part of local communities.

ART & SOCIAL JUSTICE

In planning new projects for 2025, we’re anticipating the many opportunities that will exists. We want to showcase the complexity of issues that continue to plague the Black and Brown communities as a way to further highlight the strengths and pros. Within Art, in general we want to develop and feature works and individuals that truly push the envelope to redefining People of Color in profound and positive ways. As we eventually get into Design, we want to do the same with a focus on how cultural identity plays a part in things from commercial communication to environmental aesthetic language. Using Photography and Videography to capture these moments, we’ll also be using those forms to help reinforce the journey.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT ART EVEN IS IN THIS MODERN DAY!

The fact is that there are many different ways to describe and define what Art actually is. While those definitions are much more heavily dependent on individual perspective rather than social standard, the fact is that there is a wealth of artistry and creativity on display in the world and so is there room for some to rise to the top? To me and to us, we see Art as a profound communication of a thought, concept or idea that goes beyond the formal structure of words written. It is the manifestation of the creative spirit to produce things that go to push the formal and normalized conventional ideas of what becomes the standard as understood within and as life. As we move into the 2025 Arts Quarter, we’re brought back the question of what is art and does that definition hold merit, value and weight to drive entrepreneurship and business into the future. With the coming changes to the American government, recent activities of the Far-Right and other factors, we’re led back to a place where Art & Social Justice were one.

---

Standing upon the idea of Growth and Innovation—Intelligence. Ethnicity and Innovation—we’re looking to further act within our local communities to create. It is our local communities that we find value for our existence. With so much going on in the world—where the power players are clamoring for more power, those that thought they were making something themselves are hit hard setbacks, and the impoverished seem to have made hopelessness normal—we continue to want to position ourselves to help and discover.

STEPPING BACK TO BUILD OUT!

While we’re beginning the process of stepping back a bit in preparation for 2025, we’re looking to build out. Thru appreciating and supporting other Artists, Designers, Photographers and Videographers, we’re also striving to becoming more and more valuable.

A DRIVE FOR SUCCESS THRU LOVING ART AND IDEAS.

We’re focusing the ARTISTRY of ALL things! It’s our business to focus on the Art of Business just as much as the Art of Art, Design and Photography. While we’re busy handling the day to day operations of the business, we’re struggling yet striving to further create. This—THIS—is a part of the job. This is where we must push to innovate. The goal and the mission is to stay active in business by staying active in creating. As we step back from active Art, Design and Photography activities, we’re developing new plans to utilize tools and resources to keep us unique and competitive within the creativity space.

📕 IDEAS FOR 2025

With so much happening, we’re staying encouraged to helping Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture stay Empowered for and into the future. As racism continues to plague American to worldwide developed societies, we see our place as essential seeing, discovering and creating new opportunities beyond reinvigorated obstacles to a progressive and diverse world. Our goal is further build a community of artists and creatives local to where we are and what interests us for People of Color. We’re willing to take the risks to create and present NEW ideas that might fuel redefined success and progress.

Keeping our present operational structure, we’re delving into Art, Design and Photography with a new intent to present Black and Brown in those lights that others have not only tried to deny but to claim for themselves. We believe in the growth and development of People of Color with a need for that development to go past that which has led to individual and collective dysfunction. Within Art, we’re gearing up to create content and media that strengthens and showcases intellectual aptitude with innovation. Design, we’ll be working to apply approaches of those many Cultures of Color to a modern aesthetic appeal into a new type of refinement, evolution and sophistication. Photography—and Videography, we’ll be continue to capture and create moments and stories that should be foundational and innovatively empowering to People of Color encouraging them to move beyond the confines of what is that has led to the diminishment and distraction of potential within the Black and Brown Collective Consciousness.

Coaching & Consulting

As we continue to create and cultivate new ideas and projects, we’ll be continuing to help others achieve—achieve within and for their own creative ideas, projects, intentions, visions and missions. With Ai continuing to dominate and change the face, body and soul of creativity, we want to help artists and creatives to define or redefine who and what they are as to further impact culture and society. We believe the richness of what it means to be human comes from what and how we not only create but create to contributing abundantly to the world.

THE BUSINESS QUARTER

The 2024 Business Quarter is dedicated to business activities. As a key aspect of our business, planning and gaining a perspective view of where we are and where we want to be comes down to what we want to create and offer. This Business Quarter has given a lot more than what we thought could ever be produced. New relationships. New goals. New achievements. New ideas for a new vision. Where the struggles in the last 3 years haven’t facilitated us closing, we believe that next year is full of new opportunities to further re-introduce ourselves.

How We Manage Relationships With Shoot-For-Free Models.

(StreetMeet DC, PortraitMeet DC, Public Photography Events)

We’re always excited to work with others to accomplish creative and business goals. Public events such as StreetMeet DC are some of the greatest ways we build creative relationships. Models, Photographers and Creative Collaborators, StreetMeet DC has built quite the distinctive reputation that has helped many to establish relationships, networks and even related environments for creative work. In dealing with the masses that often attend and involve themselves within the culture, we’ve cultivated our own ideologies and strategies to not only add to our professional portfolios but to also manage and maintain healthy and effective relationships for more creative projects.

Building Strong Relationships with "Shoot-for-Free" Models: A Liam Ian Philosophy

Welcome, Creatives!

When you step into a shoot, especially at events like StreetMeet DC, it’s not just about taking photos. It’s about creating experiences, sharing stories, and cultivating lasting partnerships. Working with "shoot-for-free" models is a huge part of this journey, but how do we approach these collaborations? At LIAM IAN™, we believe in a philosophy that centers on respect, creativity, and genuine connection. Here’s how we manage these shoots, staying true to our core values.

1. Clear Communication: The Foundation of Our Creativity

At LIAM IAN™ , we don’t just show up to capture images – we show up to gain shared experiences and tell stories. And storytelling starts with clear, intentional communication. Before the shoot, we make sure to:

- Set the stage with clarity – We take the time to understand the vision behind every model’s personal style and every shoot. The creative direction is always a shared space where both the photographer and model can contribute.

- Honor each other’s time – We understand that time is valuable, and we respect that. From the first conversation to the final image, we communicate timelines, expectations, and goals.

- Mutual respect for creative freedom – We also make it clear how the images will be used, so everyone is on the same page. That transparency fosters trust and opens up room for deeper creative freedom.

The key? Creating a space where collaboration thrives, and everyone feels heard and understood.

2. Value Beyond the Frame: Creating Meaningful Impact

For us at LIAM IAN™, photography is about more than just capturing moments—it’s about creating a lasting impact. We believe in offering more value than expected, whether it’s a free shoot or a paid one. Here’s how:

- Deliver images that empower – We understand the power of a photo. It’s not just an image; it’s an opportunity for a model to share their story. That’s why we send high-quality images promptly, with full rights to use them for their personal brand.

- Recognition goes a long way – When we work with someone, we ensure they get the spotlight. Whether it’s tagging them on social media or featuring them in a blog, we acknowledge their unique role in our creative process.

- Offer future opportunities – We believe that once a model connects with our work, the possibilities are endless. That’s why we always offer something extra: a future paid shoot, a referral incentive, or an exclusive collaboration. It’s not about the one-time shoot—it’s about building a lasting partnership.

We’re not just photographers; we’re supporters of the people who help bring our vision to life.

3. Building Partnerships, Not Just Collaborations

At LIAM IAN™, every model is more than just a subject—they’re a partner in the creative process. We believe in mutual growth, and that means working together on something bigger. Our approach to creative partnerships goes beyond simple collaboration:

- Get to know the person behind the model – We’re genuinely interested in who our models are, their goals, their aspirations. Understanding the heart of their vision allows us to create work that truly resonates with them.

- Pitch ideas that align with their story – A model’s portfolio is a personal journey. We help tell that story through unique shoot concepts that reflect their individuality, while also pushing creative boundaries.

- Collaborate beyond the event – We don’t believe in confining our creativity to one shoot. After building that initial connection, we work with our models on more intimate, off-the-clock projects. This is where true collaboration shines.

For us, it’s all about building relationships where both sides can grow, evolve, and explore.

4. Professionalism and Authenticity: A Balancing Act

We understand that creativity can be chaotic, but professionalism and authenticity are non-negotiable. LIAM IAN™ thrives on a balanced approach:

- Show up with purpose – Every shoot, every session, is treated with the utmost respect. We arrive on time, prepared, and ready to dive into the creative process.

- Create a space of authenticity – While professionalism is key, we also believe in a relaxed atmosphere that encourages authenticity. We aim to make our models feel comfortable and confident, ensuring that their true selves shine through in every shot.

- Gratitude as a cornerstone – After each shoot, we don’t just thank our models; we honor them. This simple gesture keeps the connection alive and shows our genuine appreciation for their time, talent, and trust.

By mixing professionalism with authenticity, we create an environment where creativity can truly flourish.

5. Turning Collaboration into Legacy: From Free to Paid

At LIAM IAN™, we’re not just looking for one-time collaborations. We’re thinking long-term. We know that strong relationships lead to lasting partnerships, and that’s where the transition to paid work comes in:

- Offer real opportunities – After a few successful collaborations, it’s time to talk about paid projects. We understand that true creative growth requires mutual investment, and that’s why we’re always ready to discuss future paid work once the groundwork has been laid.

- Create opportunities together – Our models are never just hired hands—they’re integral to the vision. Together, we explore ways to build bigger projects, whether it’s collaborations with brands or showcasing our work in new spaces.

- Respect the long-term relationship – Every model we work with is considered a partner for the long haul. When the time is right, we offer paid opportunities and work together to build something even greater.

For us, transitioning from free collaborations to paid projects is about respecting the model's contribution and ensuring the relationship continues to grow into something sustainable.

Wrapping Up: Our Philosophy, Your Experience

Tying into our Business Quarter, at LIAM IAN™, it’s never just about the shoot—it’s about the journey. The journey is the business. From the first conversation to the final image, we aim to create an experience that is collaborative, transparent, and meaningful. We don’t see "shoot-for-free" as a one-off event, but as the beginning of a relationship that can evolve into something much more. By valuing communication, offering genuine opportunities, and respecting our models as partners, we build relationships that are not only creatively fulfilling but also sustainable.

So, whether you're a model or photographer, let's make it more than just a shoot. Let’s create something that lasts.

As move forward within IP Production, we’re mindful that our name—LIAM IAN™—matters especially for those we collaborate with and their own audiences.

CONNECTING MORE! WEEK 45 AND THE BUSINESS QUARTER: CONTINUING BUSINESS THRU COMMERCIAL SERVICES AND CUSTOM PRODUCTS.

WELL INTO THE BUSINESS QUARTER, THE FINAL QUARTER OF THE YEAR IS SEEING SOME PRETTY GOOD ACTIVITY!

We’re now applying more focus on Business and Business Services. Refining what we do and how we do it to better meet revenue expectations, we’re now positioning to take advantage of the Holiday Seasons by updating our Retail Platforms while still further helping our clients to do the same. Project, Product and Asset Development, were helping to shape new communication modes and models to capture more eyes and communicate better messages. As Visual Communication is always the demand, what’s also essential is in gaining traction to increase productivity in sales for even our clients to excel and succeed.

BEYOND IP FOR THE COMING AUTUMN AND HOLIDAY SEASONS!

The final week of THE PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER wasn’t bad but now we’re moving and marching on. It might seem like things have started to wind down but truly it’s quite the contrary. As October is the FIRST month of The Business Quarter, we’re completing old and standing projects in favor of new projects for IP cultivation (LIAM IAN DESIGN). We’re still providing services but we’re now refining our focus on preparing for greater opportunities and greater sales within and for this holiday season.

STAYING ORGANIZED

The key to doing business for us is in staying disciplined and organized. One must know what’s coming in order to plan accordingly. One must then plan accordingly with the vision and intention to execute then…to execute.

Our goal is to produce unique intellectual property that resonates with people of diverse backgrounds, reflecting their experiences and making a meaningful impact.

THE BETTER BEST BETHESDA is becoming THE BETTER BEST NORTH BETHESDA!

As we tried before to feature our local communities, we’re striving again…and this time more.

Within so much development and associated community activities happening within the Washington, DC metropolitan area, we want to get back into our communities by featuring as much as possible. Our goal is to bring light and positive attention to those things that make the region worth living in. Starting within the North Bethesda (once White Flint) communities of Montgomery County, Maryland, we’re striving to expand out to Rockville, Bethesda, Kensington, Potomac, Chevy Chase, and Washington, DC. With so much youth and diversity residing here, we believe there’s a richness that just cannot be denied here. We’ll see you soon!

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT : REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

We’re currently applying focus and enhancements to Relationship and Reputation Management matters. How we conduct business is one of crucial importance especially when attempting to work within your local communities. From contractors to clients, models to community leaders, how we operate to maintain relationships is of key importance because our survivability is dependent on them. Because of who, what and why we want to serve, we understand that maintaining successful and progressive relationships runs hand in hand with maintaining our reputation and public image. Our brand being based upon “Intelligence. Ethnicity. Innovation.” as directed to and representative of Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture requires successful relationships and community participation to actually work…therefore…we’re working on things.

POLICY UPDATE, REVISION & ENHANCEMENT

As we continue to move forward with our creative activities, we’re applying attention to updating, revising, enhancing and improving our general business policies to improve business operation and performance. Key policy revisions will be published accordingly for transparent utilization and implementation.

2025 BUSINESS MODEL & IDENTITY REDEFINITION

As we continue to survive the storms of stagnant revenues and struggling activity, we’re continuing to develop and adapt to the changes within our communities and markets. With that we’ll be making a slight rebrand to our business model reflecting the full capacity of what we do and who we are. Considerations are in the following;

• LIAM IAN™: Creative Services Agency.

• LIAM IAN™: Creative Studio.

• LIAM IAN™: Commercial Art and Design Studio.

• LIAM IAN™: Multimedia Production Company.

• LIAM IAN™: “...Creator of Proprietary Innovations.”

• LIAM IAN™: “Original Content Creator.”

• LIAM IAN™: “Innovator in Proprietary Media and Content Development.”

2025 STRATEGIC PRE-PLANNING

We now starting to look at and review 2024 as to get a good idea of what the operational structure for 2025 will be. Planning is big part of what we do which just adds more to who we are. Quarterly to Monthly to Weekly planning is essential therefore we’ve got to start early so that as the new year approaches, we already have an idea of what we’re supposed to be doing and resources need to be available to get it all done.

📕: RED BOOK CONVERSATIONS & 2025 IDEA CULTIVATION

A RETURN TO STREETMEET DC?

YUP! AND IT WASN’T WHAT WE REMEMBERED…BUT MUCH MORE!

View fullsize

A RE-INVIGORATING EXPERIENCE!

Attending StreetMeet DC on Saturday was interesting. Held at Section 6 of Rock Creek Park, the event was more low-key than the ones we went to in 2023. Having been away from the community for a while, we may have become a bit jaded, with those small connections and mutual understandings faded. But this didn't bother us much, and we concluded that this was still not only a place for us but a place for so many others.

StreetMeet DC was a great experience, well-organized and full of character. It brought together smart, creative, and innovative individuals with their own ideas, perspectives, and goals. Some were there for fun, others for networking. Most were interesting and captivating, some knew their craft and performed, while others went above and beyond. It was an awesome and insightful event that left us wanting more.

The key is to focus on operating as a business, not a hobby. We should take pride in what we are and not deviate from the purpose of such events. While it's an open, free event for people to come together and create, the lack of “management” allows for great natural interactions and vibing. While one can tell and see the uniques groups and relationships already established, there’s still an openness and inclusivity that still motivates.

A positive experience for sure, this event helped to remind us that we have and need to continue to build corporate and other business connections to fuel our identity and performance. We must make sure we operate with integrity and honesty to the facts that while we are creators, we are creators with a purpose anchored in business and ongoing business development yet still dependent on community and culture.

*Having been in this field of creative work for over 10 years now, and employed within some major operations that have afforded me substantial experiences, I’ve come to understand that everyone’s value is individually specific. Because we’ve gained experience, relationships, assets and value thru established revenues, we understand that while we can work with some, it’s a great thing to find those who truly want to create to create. Bad energy, bad attitudes and bad dispositions won’t afford anyone good experiences…so why bother? Choose Creatives; Photographers, Models, Designers, Artists, and even Entrepreneurs, that truly love what they do as creatives. Their love and passion should be positive, patient, welcoming and encouraging to others. You’ll see your own work and creativity rise to places and spaces that you’d never expect before. —Liam Ian

If you’re a model, contributor or collaborator shot by us or have collaborated with us and are requesting images, CONTACT US HERE!

**As we move forward in attempting to participate within these local public photography shooting events, our continued goal will be to network and further establish our business, business brand and identity within the richness of the local Art, Design and Photography communities. Our policy is to use images gained from such events for branding and marketing purposes while the events themselves are used additionally for networking and relationship building. We retain the rights to images and distribution with no commitment to publish nor make available images or image libraries until we’ve determined appropriate and necessary. Image and Library Availability is thru DropBox or direct communication only.

Within so much development and associated community activities happening within the Washington, DC metropolitan area, we want to get back into our communities by featuring as much as possible. Our goal is to bring light and positive attention to those things that make the region worth living in. Starting within the North Bethesda (once White Flint) communities of Montgomery County, Maryland, we’re striving to expand out to Rockville, Bethesda, Kensington, Potomac, Chevy Chase, and Washington, DC. With so much youth and diversity residing here, we believe there’s a richness that just cannot be denied here. We’ll see you soon!

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT : REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

We’re currently applying focus and enhancements to Relationship and Reputation Management matters. How we conduct business is one of crucial importance especially when attempting to work within your local communities. From contractors to clients, models to community leaders, how we operate to maintain relationships is of key importance because our survivability is dependent on them. Because of who, what and why we want to serve, we understand that maintaining successful and progressive relationships runs hand in hand with maintaining our reputation and public image. Our brand being based upon “Intelligence. Ethnicity. Innovation.” as directed to and representative of Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture requires successful relationships and community participation to actually work…therefore…we’re working on things.

POLICY UPDATE, REVISION & ENHANCEMENT

As we continue to move forward with our creative activities, we’re applying attention to updating, revising, enhancing and improving our general business policies to improve business operation and performance. Key policy revisions will be published accordingly for transparent utilization and implementation.

2025 BUSINESS MODEL & IDENTITY REDEFINITION

As we continue to survive the storms of stagnant revenues and struggling activity, we’re continuing to develop and adapt to the changes within our communities and markets. With that we’ll be making a slight rebrand to our business model reflecting the full capacity of what we do and who we are. Considerations are in the following;

• LIAM IAN™: Creative Services Agency.

• LIAM IAN™: Creative Studio.

• LIAM IAN™: Commercial Art and Design Studio.

• LIAM IAN™: Multimedia Production Company.

• LIAM IAN™: “...Creator of Proprietary Innovations.”

• LIAM IAN™: “Original Content Creator.”

• LIAM IAN™: “Innovator in Proprietary Media and Content Development.”

THE BUSINESS QUARTER HAS STARTED MARKING THE FOURTH AND FINAL QUARTER OF THE YEAR!

We’re now applying more focus on Business and Business Services. Refining what we do and how we do it to better meet revenue expectations, we’re now positioning to take advantage of the Holiday Seasons by updating our Retail Platforms while still further helping our clients to do the same. Project, Product and Asset Development, were helping to shape new communication modes and models to capture more eyes and communicate better messages. As Visual Communication is always the demand, what’s also essential is in gaining traction to increase productivity in sales for even our clients to excel and succeed.

BEYOND IP FOR THE COMING AUTUMN AND HOLIDAY SEASONS!

The final week of THE PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER wasn’t bad but now we’re moving and marching on. It might seem like things have started to wind down but truly it’s quite the contrary. As October is the FIRST month of The Business Quarter, we’re completing old and standing projects in favor of new projects for IP cultivation (LIAM IAN DESIGN). We’re still providing services but we’re now refining our focus on preparing for greater opportunities and greater sales within and for this holiday season.

WEEK 43 (2024) - All into the Autumn and Fall season, we’re engaging Business Services and Business Activities as well as developing new Creative Projects and Ideas to add to our portfolio of works and products.

This Week’s Project Activities:

THE PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER: ASSESSMENT AND CLOSE-OUT. Still active though!

The task is for this week is to maximize upon the content and media while still accepting inbound service requests. The goal is to look back to look forward to gain new product opportunities. We’re positioning for the coming Autumn and Holiday Seasons as also the highest commercial market season.

THE BUSINESS QUARTER: PRODUCT & PRODUCT SALES REVIEW

The general idea for this week is to while still acting within the category of Photography, we’re moving forward with a greater focus on Business Services and Business Operations in the way of Sales and Revenue Generation during the Holiday Season.

INSPIRATIONS: REPLICATION

While we are completing contracted and commissioned works thru our Subscription Services for Commercial Uses, we’re still working to develop our own custom works and IP. This year—as conforming to “The Dichotomy of…” 2024 theme—our custom Design work will be inspired by select African and Asian cultures. This selection is chosen due to the aesthetic importance and cultural heritage values employed. Our works are for product development and/or branding purposes and uses.

AUTUMN IS HERE AND A DIFFERENT TIME FOR CREATIVITY PRESENTS ITSELF.

Autumn is about the beginning of the Holiday Season with cooler temperatures and greater opportunities for gatherings more meaningful social activities. While we continue to develop our own internal projects for revenue generation and community impact, we’re helping others (individuals, entrepreneurs and small businesses) to take advantage of the seasonal change and do the same.

This season, we are branching out into videography, filmmaking, and storytelling, expanding our creative horizons. Our goal is to produce unique intellectual property that resonates with people of diverse backgrounds, reflecting their experiences and making a meaningful impact. We are dedicated to shaping a better tomorrow by leveraging media production to inform and inspire change. Despite our constraints, we are committed to spearheading projects that hold significance. The time is ripe for us to step up and pave the way for the upcoming generations, offering them a world of new opportunities and potential pathways for their future journeys.

LIAM IAN CREATIVE™

We’re moving in the same direction with new vision on who and what we are! 2025 is right around the corner and with that, we’re reposition our identity and brand as to encompass all that we have to offer and all that we do. With operating within Art, Design, Photography, Videography and other Supplemental Media, we’re staking our claim within Creative Services instead of confining ourselves into labels that restrict our audiences and opportunities. Thru all forms mentioned, we’re actively engaged in developing custom and client IP to meet specific market needs and demands.

DEDICATED SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT CREATION SERVICES

To better serve our local communities, we’re also—for this holiday season—providing Social Media Services for the North Bethesda Communities. Content Creators—like individuals in any other industry—need to be supported and provided resources that truly cater to them as the commercial entities they are and have the capacity to be. This platform is currently under development. More information to come!

THE 2024 BUSINESS QUARTER

GENERAL OUTLOOK

Time is marching on…and so are we! In this 2024 Business Quarter, we’ll be focusing more on taking on Business Service Requests and implementing associated activities as to focus on Revenue Generation and Strategic Relationship Building.

The Holiday season isn’t around the corner—IT’S ALREADY HERE! It’s here and we’re aligning our resources to build upon existing assets, strengthen networks and get more work done. As other businesses begin to position for holiday sales, we’ll be doing the same and helping others as well. From October to December—and technically into January of 2025—our focus will be on services and custom IP for LIAM IAN DESIGN™. Still for the rest of 2024, we’re striving to fulfill completing the themed products and other artistic concepts of “The Dichotomy of…”.

We’ll also be using this time to ramp up planning for 2025 and prepare business maintenance processes. 2025, we want to streamline what we do better aligning with who we are and what we truly want to provide to our audiences, customers and clients.

SERVICES OFFER

As we move forward in Creative & Creativity Services, we’re refining what we’re offering to Entrepreneurial and Small Business Clients. With the holidays fast approaching, our goal is to assist our clients in streamlining and optimizing operations to increase revenue potential. As a byproduct of Art, Design and Photography Products and Services, we’ve come to understand that many Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses fall short in preparing Branding, Marketing and Communication Materials and Media in advance to their marketing season. Not only do they fail to prepare these materials, it is tied to parallel failure to plan accordingly.

STRATEGIC COACHING & CONSULTING: [$69.99 per 1 Hour Session. $49.99 per 1 Hour Session for Existing Clients (after an Initial $69 1 Hour Session.]

For more information, contact us HERE!

While the list of Business Services we offer are relatively consistent and possibly redundant amongst each other, they share a common interest which is in…HELPING OTHERS TO SUCCEED. Thru Strategic Planning and Setting SMART Goals and Milestones, we want Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses to position themselves for new and innovative forms of Progress, Development and Success.

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT : REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

This week, we’re applying some much needed focus and enhancements to Relationship and Reputation Management matters. How we conduct business is one of crucial importance especially when attempting to work within your local communities. From contractors to clients, models to community leaders, how we operate to maintain relationships is of key importance because our survivability is dependent on them. Because of who, what and why we want to serve, we understand that maintaining successful and progressive relationships runs hand in hand with maintaining our reputation and public image. Our brand being based upon “Intelligence. Ethnicity. Innovation.” as directed to and representative of Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture requires successful relationships and community participation to actually work…therefore…we’re working on things.

POLICY UPDATE, REVISION & ENHANCEMENT

As we continue to move forward with our creative activities, we’re applying attention to updating, revising, enhancing and improving our general business policies to improve business operation and performance. Key policy revisions will be published accordingly for transparent utilization and implementation.

THE 2024 BUSINESS QUARTER

GENERAL OUTLOOK

Time is marching on…and so are we! In this 2024 Business Quarter, we’ll be focusing more on taking on Business Service Requests and implementing associated activities as to focus on Revenue Generation and Strategic Relationship Building.

The Holiday season isn’t around the corner—IT’S ALREADY HERE! It’s here and we’re aligning our resources to build upon existing assets, strengthen networks and get more work done. As other businesses begin to position for holiday sales, we’ll be doing the same and helping others as well. From October to December—and technically into January of 2025—our focus will be on services and custom IP for LIAM IAN DESIGN™. Still for the rest of 2024, we’re striving to fulfill completing the themed products and other artistic concepts of “The Dichotomy of…”.

We’ll also be using this time to ramp up planning for 2025 and prepare business maintenance processes. 2025, we want to streamline what we do better aligning with who we are and what we truly want to provide to our audiences, customers and clients.

BETTER BEST NORTH BETHESDA™

2024 QUARTER 3: PHOTOGRAPHY Quarter / Month 9 - September / Week 38: PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECTS ONGOING DEVELOPMENT & WRAP UP!

WEEK 38 (2024) - Summer is over but the fun is just getting started! The last and final month of THE PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER, we’re ending the quarter off strong by completing Service Requests while completing Custom IP Projects.

This Week’s Project Activities:

THE PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER:

The task is for this week is to maximize upon the content and media while still accepting inbound service requests. The goal is to look back to look forward to gain new product opportunities. We’re positioning for the coming Autumn and Holiday Seasons as also the highest commercial market season.

INSPIRATIONS: REPLICATION

While we are completing contracted and commissioned works thru our Subscription Services for Commercial Uses, we’re still working to develop our own custom works and IP. This year—as conforming to “The Dichotomy of…” 2024 theme—our custom Design work will be inspired by select African and Asian cultures. This selection is chosen due to the aesthetic importance and cultural heritage values employed. Our works are for product development and/or branding purposes and uses.

SUMMER IS THE PRIME TIME FOR PHOTOGRAPHY!

This Summer holds great promise for us! We are focusing our efforts on utilizing our time and resources effectively to create unforgettable moments and memories, all the while working on product development and service implementation. Through our photography endeavors, we are not only capturing images but also assisting individuals in unlocking their full potential and embracing their true selves.

This season, we are branching out into videography, filmmaking, and storytelling, expanding our creative horizons. Our goal is to produce unique intellectual property that resonates with people of diverse backgrounds, reflecting their experiences and making a meaningful impact. We are dedicated to shaping a better tomorrow by leveraging media production to inform and inspire change. Despite our constraints, we are committed to spearheading projects that hold significance. The time is ripe for us to step up and pave the way for the upcoming generations, offering them a world of new opportunities and potential pathways for their future journeys.

---

We’re striving to develop our IP as best as possible with products that are thoughtful and meaning to People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. As we move forward our agenda to develop more, we’re still refining down what we offer and why. We believe in tremendous purpose in what we do because in the end it’s about more than revenue generation. It’s about impacting our clients, customers, audiences and communities.

Additionally, we’re getting ahead of things by engaging our plans for this Summer Season that coincides with our PHOTOGRAPHY Quarter. We’re encouraging our communities of Artists and Entrepreneur to get ahead of planning so they can gain perspective over what they need to do and be prepared for. With planning a constant and ongoing process, we encourage others to get on a regular schedule for what is and should be going on within their endeavors and enterprises.

PORTRAIT PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT

YOU ARE INVITED TO COME GET CREATIVE WITH PHOTOGRAPHY!

Continuing to be inspired by classic Photographers such as Gordon Parks, James Van Der Zee, and more modern ones such as Alan Schaller, Mark Mann and others, we’re continuing to develop our skills in creating works of Art thru Photography. Our desire is to move beyond the limitations of social media trends and expectations while returning to a place of Artistry within Photography. Adhering to a commitment of efforts in refining skill and regimen for artistic photography, we’re continuing to develop Creative Portrait Work and Portfolios. The effort is not only to create but to build relationships, experiences and moments. We’re looking to add depth, purpose and meaning that transcend the modern commercial and consumable aspects of what we love, Art, Design and Photography.

This Portrait Photography Portfolio series is to feature select individuals in specific environmental settings. As we goal for interior and studio sessions, we’re also positioning for outside, natural light, street and urban shots as well.

Volunteer only, this session will be supplanted by unique session structures that will assist in developing strong artistic inclusion and collaboration; posing and composition, lighting and technical arrangements, manual shooting for testing and post-editing considerations.

Additional to Portfolio Develoment—thru use of Adorama services—we will also be continuing development of the LIAM IAN SIGNATURE PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES. This series is to convey the greatest, most refined and impactful of artistic works in Art, Design and Photography produced be LIAM IAN.

We believe in tremendous purpose in what we do because in the end it’s about more than revenue generation. It’s about impacting our clients, customers, audiences and communities.

Additionally, we’re getting ahead of things by engaging our plans for this Summer Season that coincides with our PHOTOGRAPHY Quarter. We’re encouraging our communities of Artists and Entrepreneur to get ahead of planning so they can gain perspective over what they need to do and be prepared for. With planning a constant and ongoing process, we encourage others to get on a regular schedule for what is and should be going on within their endeavors and enterprises.

As seeking more and more opportunities, we’re contributing our efforts to creating content, services and products that help to encourage the healthy democratic systems that are supposed to exist within America. We will be drafting new products in support of The People of America for The Future of America.

CONNECTING MORE! WEEK 29: MOVING FORWARD INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER!

SUMMER IS HERE AND WE’RE STRIVING FOR MORE!

Things are ramping up and we’re not mad at it! Father’s Day is well on its way with Juneteenth not far behind. The Summer season begins with Fourth of July and Deadpool 3 (Deadpool & Wolverine) really to kick off some good excitement! With new work commissions and other associated projects, we’re helping others to increase their efficiency and effectiveness with visual communication including marketing and artistic apparel design. The Photography Quarter promises to be interesting if not fulfilling as well.

STAYING ORGANIZED

The key to doing business for us is in staying organized. One must know what’s coming in order to plan accordingly.

2024 THEME: “THE DICHOTOMY OF…”

2024 QUARTER 3: PHOTOGRAPHY Quarter / Month 7 - July / Week 29: PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT)

WEEK 29 (2024) - ART & DESIGN TO PHOTOGRAPHY! STRIVE TO COMPLETE PROJECTS ALREADY PLANNED…with Vision enough to know what else is coming after.

This Week’s Project Activities:

• PRIMARY: DIGITAL PIECE as Supplemental or Complimentary to One Physical Piece.

• PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER:

The task is for us to stay consistent with what we’re doing and producing. While Artistry and Creativity are the core of who and what we are, Entrepreneurship is one of the overall driving factors behind why we do what we do. A perspective of our goals is to bring meaningful and impactful products to market to Appreciate, Encourage and Inspire Black and Brown People, African Americans and People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. This is the behind the processes of how we do it.

INSPIRATIONS: REPLICATION

While we are completing contracted and commissioned works thru our Subscription Services for Commercial Uses, we’re still working to develop our own custom works and IP. This year—as conforming to “The Dichotomy of…” 2024 theme—our custom Design work will be inspired by select African and Asian cultures. This selection is chosen due to the aesthetic importance and cultural heritage values employed. Our works are for product development and/or branding purposes and uses.

SUMMER IS THE PRIME TIME FOR PHOTOGRAPHY!

This Summer holds great promise for us! We are focusing our efforts on utilizing our time and resources effectively to create unforgettable moments and memories, all the while working on product development and service implementation. Through our photography endeavors, we are not only capturing images but also assisting individuals in unlocking their full potential and embracing their true selves.

This season, we are branching out into videography, filmmaking, and storytelling, expanding our creative horizons. Our goal is to produce unique intellectual property that resonates with people of diverse backgrounds, reflecting their experiences and making a meaningful impact. We are dedicated to shaping a better tomorrow by leveraging media production to inform and inspire change. Despite our constraints, we are committed to spearheading projects that hold significance. The time is ripe for us to step up and pave the way for the upcoming generations, offering them a world of new opportunities and potential pathways for their future journeys.
