Movement
It has been a minute friends! Shockingly, in a pandemic things for me have been extremely busy - which I am very ok with. I feel like a lot of my conversations with friends and family have revolved around what is wrong with 2020. Why? because this year is shit. I can’t lie though - I have been living my best life in a few ways. I have been working from home for my 9-5 job and wow it’s amazing. I mean it gets a bit mundane being at home most of the time but for once in my life I actually have “work life balance” - something that I did not know existed. I know that it is very easy to talk about the negative aspects of the situations that we are in, but I feel like we are not talking enough about what is going well ⇦ Look at me trying to be positive.
Through the last several months I have found the type of photography that I am in LOVE with and in my opinion I think that I really shows through my work. Not sure if it is because of my social anxiety (lol) but I am not a HUGE fan directing people and telling them how to pose. I know I know - probably shouldn’t be disclosing that as a photographer and its not like I am not good at directing people, because I am, but it gives me a weird type of anxiety that almost seems unavoidable.
I love true and authentically candid photos; catching the small moments in between smiling and posing. The real and raw moments that should be displayed. As a photographer, I feel like people are always searching for their niche and what they want to continue doing throughout their careers. Maybe that is weddings/couples, product, nature or portrait etc. I feel like I have finally found my niche or my style which has opened so many doors for me as a now small business owner. Wild right? I know, I am a small business owner and it is so empowering!
I cannot begin to tell you how much I LOVE capturing photos of people doing their type of art whatever it may be and showing to their audiences what they are passionate about. True ‘lifestyle’ photography or now what I prefer calling it - ‘Passion’ photography (s/o Nicole). Gina and Jason are two of the people that I have had the privilege of taking photos for, and they have turned into two of my favorite shoots. I was able to capture them moving in their own space creating some of the most beautiful art. Movement has been a common theme in my photos; not just the physical action of movement, but growth. Growth while moving forward. And not just growth with the subjects of my photos, growth in my own art and movement towards my goals and dreams.
