As dawn breaks, my day begins, guided by the rhythms and reflections of the morning. I’ve always been an early bird, and I have my three older brothers to thank for that. I still fondly remember those days, sneaking moments of solace with cartoons and a bowl of fruit loops before the whirlwind of brotherly chaos took over.
Fast forward to now, and I still cherish the serenity of mornings. The rising sun, the symphony of birds, and that momentary calm before the day’s hustle – it’s pure magic. My rituals haven’t changed much, either. A good book, a quick workout, and a rejuvenating shower. But the pièce de résistance? My morning latte. That self-curated coffee bar is a haven where my day truly begins. It’s not just caffeine for the body but fuel for the soul. The golden hour of morning light is nothing short of mesmerizing. I swear, it sets the perfect tone for creativity to flourish.
Glamorous and breezy – that’s what most people envision when they think of photographers. The reality? A majority of my hours are spent behind a screen, not behind the lens. Admin duties, never-ending Zoom calls, and the constant cycle of editing can swallow whole days.
Yes, photoshoot days stand out. They’re filled with thrill and excitement. But on other days, it’s a dance between the meticulousness of business and the freedom of creativity. And just like that, before I can even pause, the evening shadows creep in, hinting at dinner time.
Shoot days? Oh, honey, they’re a production. It’s the kind of organized chaos that keeps you on your toes. The prepping starts the day before – equipment checks, lighting tests, and running through every minute detail. As dawn breaks on the shoot day, the air gets thick with anticipation. The exhilaration, the jitters; it’s a cocktail of emotions that only this industry can brew.
Reflecting on this journey, it’s been a wild, unpredictable ride, but one I wouldn’t change for the world. Freelancing has its peaks and valleys, sunrise moments, and sunset lessons. Each day in the studio is a big production woven with challenges, triumphs, and endless learning.
Collaborating with the talented souls in this industry? That’s the cherry on top. It’s the heartbeat of our work, making every project vibrant and memorable.
