Hard Work + Patience

This was honestly one of my favorite shoots. Maybe I see a series coming from this work. My model Kaity was phenomenal. She performed and I performed. There was rhythm while I shot, the right energy came out and that was it. My vision came together and it shows. I came as close as I will ever come to being satisfied. When things go right you feel like all that hard work, all the planning, all that thinking, all the chances you took, it all pays off in the end. If you keep at it the results will come. I learned that you have to be patient. Results take time to develop. When you get the right results it feels so fucking good. In this shoot kaity opened up to me in a completely different way. My camera is the tool, and I use it as an excuse to explore her. All young photographers know what being discouraged feels like. I know all too much what it feels like. All it takes is handwork and patience. Stick with it, the harder it gets, the closer you are. I must say hard work plus patience equals great results.
