I've been going out there and taking photos. Getting out of my confort zone. It's not very easy and it can be very stressful, but it is worth it. And I know I need to be able to do it.
The thing I really like about taking photos of people is seeing how something so simple can make someone feel better about themselves. Not to mention capturing that moment that will never repeat itself. With the dancing room, I love going there to take photos because of how free everyone is. No one cares about what other people say. No one cares that I'm there, taking photos and watching them dance. They just dance. Like no one is watching. I really envy that. I would never be able to be that way. That's probably why I like photographing those who can.
I've been trying to do a different photo shoot every weekend. This time around, The Aves were my target. I only knew one of the members of the band so it was still out of my confort zone. But I think I managed to, eventually, tell them what to do and put them together in a way they were confortable. It captured pretty well, I think.
I know this will be a long journey and I am only in the beginning. But I feel like I am learning so much, so quickly. It's scary how much has changed in so little time. It's scary to see that people go out of their way to tell me that they like my work. people actually want to buy my prints. It's fun but oh so scary. I am very afraid of messing this up. But I'm giving it 100%. I can't fail unless I try, right? I mean, what's the worst that could happen? It's all a learning experience. There's nothing wrong with learning. You should never stop learning.
