Fashion Identity…
I’ve decided Fashion Photography really is my calling. I love making beautiful, interesting photos of beautiful people. I love edgy as well as beauty. As much as I enjoyed family photography, or baby photography… Okay, I didn’t really enjoy it. I enjoyed aspects of it. I love photography. I love the way the light lays on people. I just don’t connect with the subject matter.
This photo doesn’t really speak to me.. It’s a great family, and a decent use of a hot shoe flash, but it doesn’t make people say, “Oh my gosh!”. It makes people say, “That’s a cute family”. I want to do the creative. I want to pick up a magazine and say, “Hey, I took that.”
I WANT EDGE!
I want this!!!
So, I’m going to build up my portfolio of edgy.
Does this mean I’m going to stop taking family pictures.. Nope! I need to pay the bills somehow. Personally, I’m looking forward to senior pictures. I think if I deliver “safe” senior pictures, I’ll be able to blast out some creative ones as well. Even if they don’t use them, I’ll have them.
So this isn’t jake saying, I’m done with photography cept for this.. This is Jake saying, I’m still for hire…. But I’m realigning my focus.
