Retiring from the family insurance business in 2017 after 30 years, Mike Tedford decided to pursue a second career in photography; a hobby he enjoyed during his high school years. His photography business was a side-hustle that he was able to grow and develop after retiring from his full time job. To set himself apart in the photography space, he purchased a vintage car to use as a prop; this move turned out to grow as a unique offering in his business.   It wasn't until he retired from the insurance industry, that he decided to deepen his knowledge of photography and vintage car maintenance and enrolled in the photography program at Oklahoma State University, earning a degree in photography in 2019. Throughout his education, he gained expertise in various genres of photography, including portrait, landscape, and event photography.

 

His vintage car driving service includes classic automobiles from the 1930's to 1960's, and provides transportation for weddings, as well as serving as props in photo shoots. 

 

During this visit, Mike shares more about his background, how his second career is going as well as offering some tips to consider when taking headshots.
