Samuel Bowie is a 16 year old student at Jackson-Olin High School in Birmingham and CEO of Kulture Kreations Atelier Photography, which now runs his own studio. He renovated a family owned property in west Birmingham to meet all of his business needs and purposes.

His interest in photography started from his brothers and other photographers. He bought his first camera at a pawn shop for $ 40. He started his studio in late 2019.

Bowie is a dual student at Lawson State Community College and said he will have enough credits to graduate from high school this December.

Bowie told WVTM13 that his goal for his studio is to teach photography to others. He wants it to be a study and teaching space as well as a place for photo shoots.

Bowie made this possible by saving his money on photo shoots and investing in new equipment.

Bowie added that one day he would like to have other photographers work among himself and become a traveling photographer. He plans that Kulture Kreations Atelier will not just become a company but a brand and create generational wealth.

His vision for his company was to be a positive asset to his generation to show that you can become a successful African American entrepreneur at a young age.
