Meet the Founder
Orlando Grant
FounderGrowing up in Birmingham, creativity was always second nature to me. From music, drawing, and design to the worlds created through Disney and animation, I was drawn to storytelling from an early age. Films like Toy Story and The Incredibles showed me how powerful emotion, imagination, and visuals could be — and that perspective still shapes the way I create today.
What started with a small camcorder became a passion for capturing moments, people, and stories. Over time, that evolved into filmmaking, photography, and creative direction focused on creating work that feels honest, cinematic, and emotionally connected.
Iconic Figures was built on the belief that everyone carries a story worth telling. The name is more than a brand — it’s a reflection of the people who shape our lives, inspire communities, and leave lasting impact through their experiences, culture, and memories. I wanted to create a platform that documents those stories in a meaningful way, whether through brands, campaigns, or individuals.
Inspired by culture, fashion, music, and everyday life — from Birmingham to London and New York — my worK is rooted in storytelling that feels authentic, timeless, and culturally relevant. Through Iconic Figures, The goal has always been simple: create work that connects p eople, inspires emotion, and leaves a lasting impression.
