Today we’d like to introduce you to Daryl Allen.
Hi Daryl, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself
My love for digital media started with my passion to travel and explore. Being able to see with my own eyes, visions of places I always wanted to visit is always inspirational on a spiritual level. I majored in Mass Communications at Winston-Salem State University which introduced me to the art of filmmaking in its various forms. I began to work on more independent projects to perfect my craft, all while learning the ins and out of photography on my own time.
When I moved to Los Angeles, I was presented with many amazing opportunities to work with major and independent films, television shows, various web series projects, small businesses, brands, and talent that really allowed me to grow professionally. All of my hard work has led to the creation of Piscium Productions, a tailored approach to digital media.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
In the words of one of my favorite songs, “nobody told me the road would be easy but I don’t believe He’s brought me this far to leave me.” Aside from the challenges of being an entrepreneur such as financial obligations, sleepless nights due to ambition, and being wary of people you may meet in the industry, I also had to grow into myself.
Being more confident, vocal, and communicative about what I want and where I’m going has been a work in progress but I’m thankful for the growth I’ve had.
As you know, we’re big fans of Piscium Productions. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Piscium’s mantra is “from visions to visuals.” The goal is to bring its clients’ visual ideas to fruition. The end product should capture the client’s vision seamlessly while being aesthetically complemented by Piscium’s inventive style.
I’m most proud of Piscium’s originality. The work my company creates is based on organic concepts, inspired by and contributing to Black culture. The goal of my photography is to enhance reality without distorting it. I have a specific style for my editing, photos, and film.
My goal is to play a pivotal role in helping small business clients elevate their brands using innovative high fashion and luxury techniques.

Services also include:
