lh.photography: Week 3

I thought the books they made, in page 16-26 were brilliant. Very clever and creative. Something I would love to learn and have. Finding a logo and portfolio that fit's my brand is hard, and I'm not nearly as close as I thought.

Personal, unique pictures of them and their pet. And for the food pictures, it's something new and refreshing to look at.
What types of experiences engage you?
Interacting with my client and pushing myself to create something extraordinary.
What do you find most interesting about the world around you?
How much we can create but still be unique. It seems hard at sometimes but if you set your mind to it it will come. My boyfriend and my dog are my inspiration for this project, they are my world.

Photographers that try things outside of their comfort zone. They push themselves and that's where beautiful art is being made. Funny photographs always get me, even when they are very silly. There is meaning behind it and I love it.

Reflect on Your Future

What kind of work do you want to do?
I want to create personal art work for my clients to hang in their home and be a part of my creation.I want to be a Fine Art Photographer with a hint of conceptual ideas.
What kind of creative do you want to be?
My very own kind,
Are you doing kinds of things now that you want to be doing in the future?
Yes, I want to continue my big project. I can see doing this for a long time.
If not, how can you position yourself to get where you want to be?
--

The kind that appreciates art and what I do. To see what I do is very creative and one of a kind.
What kind of company would fit your lifestyle? Are there compromises you are willing or not willing to make (travel, moving to a different location, long hours, etc.)?
I wouldn't mind traveling to meet with a client. Moving on the other hand I wont do.(For now) I'm not alone with my decisions anymore. If I work on something that I love doing and actually having fun with I don't mind working long hours. And if it's something I don't like doing so much, well you have to start somewhere, right?
Where do you see yourself in one, two, or five years?
One year from now I would like assisting a photographer so I can learn more about editing. Two years I want to be on my own. Five years, I'm not sure hopefully still be doing what I love. Creating something fun to look at.
Is there someone in the field who you admire? Would want to emulate? Why? How did they get to where they are?
I have not yet found that person, who truly makes me follow his/her footsteps. I keep look for them though.
