Following creative pursuits with photographer Leslie Carvitto

Four years ago, Leslie Carvitto left a 9-5 digital marketing job for her own creative pursuits and she refers to it as ‘one of the best decisions of my life’.

While she was working at the digital marketing agency, Leslie started experimenting with photography and writing. She began defining herself as a multi-passionate creative, and started to let go of the idea that she needed to grow up and out of her idea of what a successful life should look like.

Leslie’s intuition grew louder and she knew there was something more waiting for her.

Leslie and her husband moved to Australia shortly before the country, and more specifically Victoria, was sent in lockdown. Still she forged on and built a new business in a new country.

On Wadarrung Land, Leslie creates vibrant and authentic imagery for female business owners and conscious creatives.

Leslie shares with us her business journey, why she initially - and intentionally - said yes to every opportunity, the importance of asking for reviews and building community, why branding is important for your business and lots more business advice.

Meet my friend Leslie.
