I Guess Not...

My photography continues to take me on rides challenging my visions and concepts. I experiment with light and textures and it is all becoming second nature. When my journey began with digital photography almost four summers ago, the blog was the means of documenting my process and growth. At times the blog became my confessional. The place and space where I would open up and admit to way too much. My goal was and always has been to be vulnerable. Each time I press that publish button I am vulnerable. I am naked, exposing myself and my ideas as well the abilities and disadvantages that I posses.  Each time I hit publish I have butterflies in my stomach. 

With that being said I now would like to show you a few images of my latest fashion photo shoot. Inspired by the old Guess Jeans fashion campaigns and by the summer season  here are my latest photos...

About Inspiration...

So, I am filled with such inspiration that I am never worried about the future. Because I know inspiration doesn't find you. You must go and beg for it. Inspiration is way too precious and complex for it to give itself out.  It doesn't willingly come and shows its face at you unless you go and seek for it. Inspiration isn't a submissive force but a tempestuous energy one that is untamed and carefree. 

Art can be so messy and dirty while its pouring out of you. A real demon that drags you along through the back-alleys of your mind. It is not something you can stop even if you want to because in doing so you might drive yourself insane. You throw yourself away to be an artist and many times you attempt to blend and fit in and unsuccessfully you must retreat to that safe place which helps in the creation.

I met another young designer named Elyssa she will be graduating from the Savannah College of Arts and Design as a fashion designer. Her inspiration were the gardens at the palace of Versailles. I tried hard to recreate images at a location that were reminiscing of Europe and of course France. The following images represent her Senior project and collection. I hope you enjoy the images as well as the fashion.
