Some of you might think I was lazy past weeks, playing in my studio a bit.
But actually I've been very busy. Busy with preparing several photoshoots, preperations to get
cad-design.nl online, designing
JJB events and some thinking about promoting.
What about promoting? The main question is: do I want to, or not?
I know I should do it, simply for the fact to get my name out there.
But my heart lies within the 'arty' side of photography. Capture a image with a story or a concept, instead of photographing 'commercial' portraits. So maybe promoting isn't even the question, more then which way am I going to take with my work.
Don't get me wrong here, it's not that I do not want to make commercial portraits! I do make them, and I do even enjoy it! My biggest concern is: I want to achieve a standard, let's call it the 'wendy' standard. Which means I want every image to be special, to be mine, to be directed the way I see this person.
Which in the image can mean that someone doesn't always look they way they want to, or how they see themselves. This can cause some tension between the model and photographer, and this is exactly the reason why I haven't been promoting my ass off for my newly studio.
Simple fact: I am scared, terrified of doing this, scared that this can really go somewhere...
This is what I always wanted, now I have the opportunity to do so... So I am going to kick myself on the butt and go for it.... just JUMP! (who's jumping with me?)
photographer, art lover, philosopher,music lover and always looking for new exciting projects to work on, what more can I say?
