So What is iShootStories & SE7EN about?

Welcome to SE7EN, or as I like to call it, my digital act of rebellion. You see, I’ve been around the block a few times with “Fuelled,” sliding through automotive tales, “iNTERVIEWED,” where stories are as unique as fingerprints, and “iShootStories,” capturing life one frame at a time. But here’s the kicker: juggling these platforms turned into a circus act that even I couldn’t keep up with. So, what’s a creator to do? Merge them under one grandiose, deck-dominating SE7EN, of course.

Now, let’s get one thing straight: I didn’t set out to be an “influencer.” The word alone makes me cringe like I’ve just accidentally taken a sip of curdled milk. Yet, here I am, managing everything I do under one roof instead of seven. And now, people are asking me about photography, editing, advanced driving skills, and probably how to solve world hunger next. The numbers are staggering—people trust what I have to say, probably because I say it like it is, with no fluff or sugar-coating. Guess that makes me one, right? But I’m not just any influencer—I’ve got moral values, and I’m not afraid to use them.

Why SE7EN? Well, it’s not just because I’ve been riding this number for over two decades, though that certainly adds to the charm. SE7EN is the undoubted ruler of my creative deck, symbolizing hard work, determination, and a flair for standing out—all qualities I pride myself on. It’s the number that holds power, resilience, and a touch of mystery, much like the work I do.

First, let’s talk about these so-called influencers. You know the type: the ones who promote detox teas they’ve never actually tasted, miracle creams that could double as industrial sealant, and automotive influencers trying to sell you a car but don’t even know how to start it or can’t even drive a manual. But they sure know how to strike a pose in front of it… checking their sealant of course!

Then there’s me, the guy who’s spent years perfecting his craft, whether it’s photography, painting with light, racing his cars around cones and technical tracks or ripping apart a car review with the finesse of a surgeon wielding a chainsaw. People come to me because they know I’m not here to sell them snake oil. I’ll tell you straight up if something is worth your time or if it’s better left in the clearance bin of history. And here’s the kicker: I won’t recommend something unless I’d use, buy, or own it myself. That’s how I’ve built my little empire—on trust, integrity, and a refusal to bend to the whims of the latest trend.

Navigating the digital world today feels a bit like being a hamster on a wheel, running tirelessly but getting nowhere. The social media giants, with their ever-changing algorithms, have turned visibility into a pay-to-play game. Your work doesn’t see the light of day unless you throw cash at it, and let’s not even start on the constant push to keep users locked into their platforms. It’s a world where the phrase “spend money to make money” takes on a frustratingly literal meaning. And frankly, that’s bullsh!t.

So, I decided to flip the table. No more dancing to the algorithm’s tune or paying tribute to the social media overlords just to have my work seen. SE7EN is my way of taking the power back. It’s where my hard work gets the spotlight it deserves without paying a ransom for it. This platform is personal, unfiltered, and direct—a place where followers can see what I’m doing, when I’m doing it, and gain exclusive access to all the images from iShootStories.

In essence, SE7EN is my battle cry against the digital norm. It’s a space built on the belief that creativity shouldn’t have a price tag for visibility and that interactions should be genuine, not algorithmically orchestrated. Here, we say a big, resounding “STUFF the Algorithm!” We’re doing things our way, saying what we want, how we want, when we want! We are authentic, and you’re invited to join the rebellion!

In conclusion, if you’re looking for someone to blindly follow, I’m not your guy. But if you want to hear the unvarnished truth about anything from aperture settings to advanced driving techniques, then welcome aboard. Just don’t call me an influencer—I prefer “truth-teller with a sense of humor.”

And remember, even if I do influence you, at least you’ll be influenced by someone with a moral compass pointing true north.

Lastly, YOU can become “SE7EN” too… If you say, “I am SE7EN” and you “live like SE7EN,” people will think you’re all about embodying resilience, creativity, and authenticity. You’re someone who embraces your unique path, unafraid to stand out and make bold moves. You prioritize hard work, determination, and staying true to your values, even when the world around you tries to conform to trends or algorithms. Living like SE7EN means you’re not just playing the game—you’re rewriting the rules, forging your own way with a blend of passion, rebellion, and a refusal to settle for the status quo.

So, welcome to SE7EN—where the stories are real, the photography is breathtaking, and the only algorithm we follow is creativity, passion, and hard work. Let’s make some waves together.
