I’ve spent a lot of time behind the camera. I love the process. I love the pre-production work and the teamwork involved when creating an image. I love getting lost in the light. I love watching the talent move from one gesture to another. I watch as she moves immediately into another posture when that flash goes off or when I throw a word of description at her. When this happens, it’s magic.
For me, making connections with the talent, (the model, the MUA, the hair stylist, the wardrobe/stylist, etc.), is incredibly important. We are human and we must make connections, otherwise, we find ourselves living in a silo. If we’ve learned anything from this past year, it is that. We are human.
One person cannot make these kind of images. It takes a team of dedicated and passionate people. Passionate about their craft. I live my dream everyday. I am passionate about this industry and this job of making images. “It’s good enough”, is not in my vocabulary.
As we are bombarded by images, there are those that stand out. A well-crafted image didn’t happen by accident, but hopefully, some magic was made.
