Working with new subjects can always be a slightly stressful time. Wondering if they will like your ideas, will you vibe with each other, will they get bored, etc. Yes all these things and many more go through my head before a shoot. But then the shoot starts and the ideas are hittin’ and they love the previews. You realize “ehh I worried for nothing”
(story of my life)
After the shoot and you get some images processed and returned to your subject and they love them it makes you feel relieved. But then you get that message that hits different. That one that they tell you they have struggled with their body image, or their weight, or they were made fun of and they didn’t feel beautiful or sexy. But, seeing the way I captured them made them feel amazing. Made them feel those things they weren’t able to feel before. That’s the good stuff!!!
