With a new year, comes new resolutions. This year, rather then dream up unrealistic resolutions pertaining to weight loss or finding "the one", I've decided to take a more mature approach. Be good to myself. It sounds so simple. Be good to myself. But is it easy? I leave that up to you to decide. With the dreaded Hallmark holiday slowly approaching, I urge you women to be good to yourselves. Don't have a valentine? So what! Embrace your curves and imperfections, or better yet, document them. You only live once and your body isn't going to look the way it does 5, 10, 15+ years from now...therefore I encourage you to celebrate your body.. ...by booking a photo shoot with yours truly!
Another successful shoot in Central Park! Photos are signed, sealed and delivered and now it's time to play. Normally, I am not a fan of extreme contrast or over exposed photos In fact, I find that now and days, the real beauty lies within the photographers unedited photos. However, I came across this image and found myself torn- and since I am constantly learning and evolving, I pose this question to you: Black & White or Color? Although I find BW images to be romantic, I think the color image is a lot warmer and inviting.
Many people don't know this about me...but I started off as a painter. I have been enrolled in private art school (primarily focusing on painting), on top of regular school- all my life...Growing up, I had always been taught to paint within the lines...and as a result, most of my artworks were boring and mimicked the dated still-lives that lay before me.
At the time, I was extremely naive, and was almost resentful towards my teachers...Why was I being forced to paint bowls of fruit? Better yet, how many bowls of fruit would I have to paint until I could move onto something more aesthetically appealing? Looking back, I have grown to appreciate and understand why I was asked to do these renderings. Had I not been professionally trained and educated, who knows where I would be today. You must crawl before you can walk and I now see that creating those renderings over and over again were fundamental in my artistic growth. Here is where I am today: |
