week of june 29

This picture does for me what I hoped it would do for others when I shot it. It bring me profound peace. It makes me want to harness a sense of tranquility. Last week I worked with one of my lifelong friends on my first official shoot and I'm feeling really empowered with how it turned out. Sometimes as a photographer you get really stoked about a shot, or a few, of another person, and they turn out to less than excited with them. I want to create photos where people can see the magic in who they are and what they're doing, so I hold a lot of value in how a person sees themselves through my shots. Brit was amped with how these shots turned out, which was gratifying because I was too. She's the type of person that bring me the peace I feel on this photo. It just makes me want to get on my mat!
