“Photography is the story I fail to put into words.”
—Destin Sparks
Malik Towles is the founder of MSK Photography, a business that specializes in capturing Richmond’s diverse hospitality field. He may be young but don’t let his age fool you. He has already spent years pursuing business in the entrepreneurial world and developed unique experiences over the years. At a young age, he worked for his family business doing administrative filing and found a passion for being a business owner. He spent most of his teens honing his skills in business through education in and out of the classroom. After graduating he joined the job force where a local business trained him in customer service, de-escalation tactics, and sales strategy. From there he climbed the ladder of success and landed himself a promising career path. However, Malik aimed higher. He felt that even though he worked hard and had a great job that he could do more. So he pursued photography. This field allowed him to take all of his experience in business and apply it to something he was passionate about. He could be creative and help businesses from the comfort of a camera.
