Trevor Godinho

On this episode of What Makes You Click, Kelvin welcomes Trevor Godinho, an artist and photographer born in the Middle East and raised in Toronto, Canada. Listen in as he sheds light on how he pursued his artistic dreams, traveled the world, and networked his way to success and recognition. He offers wise words of advice on strategically following your passion and transitioning to being a full-time creator, as well as managing your finances and your business as a growing photographer.

You’ll gain insight into how Trevor’s childhood neighborhood and the environment he grew up in inspired his artwork, why he’s drawn to incorporate dark elements into his art, and what it was like to be raised and supported by immigrant parents.
