About
What We Do
At Realest Exposure, we're all about two things: first, providing high-quality photography services to support businesses and artists, and second, using our platform to give back to the community.
Realest Exposure is more than just a photography service - we're a social enterprise dedicated to helping our clients create unforgettable experiences and tell their unique stories.
In addition to shooting photos, Realest Exposure also provides creative consulting and brand development services to help our clients reach their target audiences. We believe in collaboration over competition and that we are all stronger when we work together.
We're based in San Francisco, California
Mission Statement
To help small businesses, artists and creatives develop and grow their brands by providing creative consulting, brand development and high quality photography services.
The Problem
BIPOC artists and small business owners are often overlooked and underrepresented in mainstream spaces.
This is a problem resulting in a lack of diversity and inclusion in these spaces. BIPOC artists and small business owners have a lot to offer, and their contributions should be celebrated. Mainstream spaces should be more inclusive of BIPOC artists and small business owners, so that everyone can benefit from their creativity and talent.
Black Americans own 2.2% of employer businesses, Hispanics own 5.3%, Indigenous Americans 0.5%, and Asian Americans own 8.9%. (according to the Minority Business Development Agency)
Our Solution
Realest Exposure is more than just a photography service – we’re a platform for artists and small business owners to grow their businesses.
We’re dedicated to promoting and connecting with BIPOC artist & entrepreneurs, and we continuously strive to grow an interconnected community. We carry a strong passion for what we do, and we’re committed to helping our clients reach their full potential.
It's important to showcase the diversity of talent and perspective that exists in our society. Otherwise, we risk perpetuating the notion that only certain types of people are capable of success.
Our goal is to contribute to their business goals and help them succeed.
Cultural Inclusion Statement
Realest Exposure is built on the foundation of providing for and supporting Black and Indigenous people of color (BIPOC).
We're a LGBT+, Black-Owned business.
We recognize that our country and world have been structured in ways that advantage some while leaving others behind. As an organization, we are committed to being a part of the solution by striving to serve BIPOC in all we do.
We believe all people deserve to be represented and heard, regardless of race or ethnicity. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates the unique experiences and perspectives of every individual. We also believe it is important to invest in the communities we serve. We do this by working with local businesses, partnering with community organizations, and providing opportunities for BIPOC artists & small businesses.
Ultimately, our goal is to create a more equitable world for all. We know there is much work to be done, but we are committed to doing our part. We use our platform to highlight BIPOC artists and professionals and showcase their work and talents. We are dedicated to creating a space where all voices can be heard and celebrated.
We are proud to be a part of the movement towards a more just and equitable world.
