I am Leshaun Panton 🇯🇲
—
I was born and raised in Mandeville, Manchester, Jamaica, stemming from humble beginnings. While I was a shy person growing up, I’ve always had a love for the arts.
Some of my earliest memories were spent drawing cars and doing creative things. I am from a family of five and the support has always been there.
My life changing story dates back to the summer of 2012. While away for the holidays, I was given a third-generation Apple iPod Touch as a gift from my aunt. I quickly commenced my experiment with the device’s camera feature. My brother, who noticed the photos being taken, marvelled at its artistry. Curious, he asked, “How did you take that?” Little did I know that I would have been paving my way to an exciting career as a professional photographer.
When I returned to Jamaica after that vacation, I continued clicking away. I was later introduced to my father’s Canon PowerShot camera, taking charge when it wasn’t in use. This is where I honed my skills as a photographer. Capturing landscape, nature, and everything in between, I enjoyed the creativity and liberation that came along with the art form. What others found difficult, I could picture effortlessly.
I got my first professional camera from my uncle in July of 2015 and this was when Panth3rz Photography and Graphic Design was born.
Brand“ Panth3rz” has been growing at an exponential rate since our genesis in 2015. The passion for photography has grown significantly, but a budding interest for film is on the rise. Keeping the original name of the service that we primarily offered would have failed to encompass the addition of what the brand now offers, therefore the decision was made to rename “Panth3rz Photography and Graphic Design” to Panth3rz Studios.
