January was 31 days... 31 days that felt like 360. While the majority of my new years resolutions slipped away under the pressure of school,life, and any other excuse I can scramble to find, my photography goals (for the most part) were maintained. I shot a lot and after a couple of weeks it was barely an effort to do. Yes the first 14 days of January meant skipping lunch, skipping school (sorry Mom), and many times meant skipping social events, it soon felt natural and just part of the routine.
What I learned..... Not every photo shoot has to be super deep or conceptual but it always helps to plan in advance (some of these shoots were planned in December). Start with an idea of a photo and move forward, its totally okay to branch away from the starting inspiration as the shoot goes on. And NEVER EVER be afraid of trying new things! It's the challenges that offer opportunity for growth.
Throughout the first month of 2018 I had various ups and downs, days where I felt great about my photography and days where I felt awful. This month however was the most productive period of time I've had regarding photography. I have made several new and revised goals I hope to achieve in the upcoming year. But here's what to expect in the upcoming month...
- MORE BLOG POSTS
- one large conceptual shoot a month
- the rebirth and an explanation of my series "War Zone"
- a pretty big and likely deep shoot as well as an explanatory blog post coming out early-mid March (MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!!)
- videos?
Until then... here are some of my photos from this month
