i’ve always loved my job as a photographer and now that it’s become a huge part of my life, i could probably right a book about how life changing this career could be.

people think that all you’re responsible for is is being the “shooter”, “the one behind the camera” but it’s so much more than that. I’m beginning to learn that if you can’t stand up for yourself in the industry, you’re going to get murdered by everything else around you.

you’re going to deal with different kinds of people every day. ones that will make your job easy and those that will make you want to throw your camera out the window.

but above all the chaos, every shoot I lead, my only goal is to leave an impression. An impression that makes these models want to keep doing their job and actually have fun with it. You probably might not understand what i’m saying, but the expectation and demand that lie in this field are incredibly high and it’s very easy to get discouraged. 

I think that’s why my work has also become more of a personal outlet these days. My boundaries for posting photos of my clients have increased not because I don’t want to share my work but because its almost as if i’m letting strangers invade a special relationship that was created. Yeah…I really can’t explain what it is…but shooting is different for me now.

I don’t love my job merely for the sake of “shooting” with a camera…I love it because to know that one photo can make a difference in someone elses life is all the motivation I need to keep doing what I’m doing.
