One for you, One for me

One for you, one for me. I heard this from someone recently, a friend who heard it from another friend perhaps. Who or where exactly is escaping me but it stuck with me…

One for you, one for me.

What a concept. When shooting for clients, my vision obviously is always there but sometimes, the client’s wants are different from my needs. I’m constantly trying to keep myself inspired, keep the creative process nurtured, which is where this concept comes into play. I take a photograph for you, then I take a photograph for me. So if we’re ever out on a shoot and I ask you to take a deep, intentional breath and close your eyes; or spin around like a crazy person so I can capture the motion in your hair; or to drape a white lacy curtain over your head, just go with it. We’re taking care of each other.
