Only here for a second

I’ve found myself contemplating a lot of things recently. Better than I have still not come up with answers. Who am I? What am I about? Where am I going?

Still one of my favorite portraits from a shoot a couple of years ago.

Everything I know is from my past and the past is full of things I would rather not think about. Who has never made mistakes? We all have and the kicker is, we will all continue to make them in the future.

I like keeping my lighting simple…

I am learning that you can’t keep living in the past. You have to move on. After all, we only have one life and regrets are not real. Regrets hold you back and stop you from being true to yourself.

All we can do is pick ourselves up, learn as best we can and move on.

Sometimes a bit of colour can be refreshing, especially by mixing lighting.

I have found that I tend to fight ghosts from my past. These ghosts are all imagined, they don’t exist and they are my own brain holding me back. I now believe that some people are more a-tuned to this self sabotage.

Still like simplicity though…

All we can do is be honest with ourselves, leave the past behind us and grab today by trying to be a better version of ourselves than we were yesterday. Sounds easy right?

Did I say I like colour too?

No, it’s bloody difficult and it takes determination and not punishing yourself for falling over every now and again. We are a biggest critic and it can sometimes cripple us.

Getting mood in a picture is the real challenge.

All of these photos in this post are old images, some have never seen the light of day and they represent my past. My history, but they are a spring board my tomorrow. All of these shoots were learning points, lessons in the craft.

Double trouble…

Until next time peeps.
