SOOO BUSY!

So, this past week I experienced one of my goals for my photogrpahy business: more than 4 clients in a week. PHEW!

I am tired, but not exausted. My shoots have taken me through fields, to the Baltimore Harbour, to Georgetown, DC, and trespassing on clearings where developments are soon to be built. I am lovingg this, and I am proud to say that I will be doing this for the rest of my life. At the moment, I am working on refining and polishing my work; doing all the things necessary to get the money shot, have shots that I am proud of, that are up to my standards, and building up my clientelle as well.

The postcards I designed didn't work out as well as I had hoped(as HOT as they are, lol). This is why I am leaving freekin PG County. You can't be an out-of-the-box thinker in this upscale hood, filled with people who can't think past their big houses and big cars, the cliques, mega churches, and children who dress with labels but can't read them.

LORDDD. Do NOT get me started. I went to NY the last weekend of June, and had a blast. I really love the El Barrio portion of East Harlem. That's really where I want to be after/during school. Harlem is like a cultural, artsy, cosmopolitan, part of NY that is my MECCA! lol. There's so many ideas I have, so many things I want to do business-wise and art-wise that I know I will NEVER get done if I stay where I am. And Lord knows, I have NO PROBLEM leaving this place in a heartbeat.


NEWS! I have FINALLY developed a photographic style, which-as it ironically turns out to be- is my personal style in a photograph: Bohemian, Artsy, Cultural, Feminine. (Headwraps, vintage clothes, and jewelry representing my travels and where I wish I was at the moment. The bigger the better.) The photographs I will be taking will resemble more snapshots from a person in the 30s-60s. I love the carefree nature of the people in the photos, the depth of the subjects, how polished they looked even though they were at home or in the park, the formal nature of even the most capricious of times.
**I like the Scurlock's work, the work of Gordon Parks, the work of Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Patrick Demarchelier, and Steven Meisel......**

Oh.

Photographs coming soon in individual posts....
