My favorite thing about photography is the moment when I'm shooting and I can tell that it's working. It's this magical, affirming feeling that makes me say, "Oh shit! I do know what I'm doing! I haven't forgotten how to take a good photo and maybe I didn't peak at 18! Thank GOD."
That feeling certainly doesn't show up every time I shoot- it can be a little elusive- and typically appears when I'm working with people that are willing to metaphorically roll their sleeves up and get the shots. This was the case with this shoot! My friend/soul sister/partner in crime Kristen and I planned this shoot on a Friday- made the props, dyed some clothes green, tested makeup looks- and shot on Saturday. I love to make art like this- pretending that I’m on Project Runway: Whatever I’m Making Edition.
