To write a good blog I would say one should have some
writing skills, a burning passion for something… anything… and the desire to
share that passion.
I think having a few different passions doesn’t hurt either and then
knowing what to write becomes the most difficult thing. Maybe writing skills is
not a prerequisite after all but passion definitely is, and lots of it if you
have.
In my case it is that drive to freeze time, capture eternity
and not only that but to create that picture I see in my mind. To spit and
polish that image I see every time I close my eyes and to then find a way to
create it in front of the lens so I can
capture that instant in time.
Maybe that’s why I love styling a shoot so much. I can see
the image come to life as we go along and when I suddenly see it right there as
if it has always been, then I am totally smitten! And all the hours spent
brooding over the ideas, the clothing, the nail polish colour and the “look” becomes
real and all I then need to do is to sit back, let the story unfold and
freeze every frame.
I love seeing that shy woman turn into the beautiful vixen
she has always been. When she sheds her “shell” and she can feel the blood
pumping through her veins. Or you have this timid girl arrive in her jeans and
a tee and as soon as you pull out a sequin vest her eyes just light up and you
know that you might have to tear it from her little claws at the end of the
day. I want to
empower people with the photos I take. “ Strip them bare” to make them realise
how special they are.
Now this is why I PHOTOGRAPH… to capture the beauty in
someone without photoshop, just the real natural essence. To see that look in a
woman’s eyes when she leaves at the end of the day, the same look a lioness
has… a look of pure unadulterated power!
