BTS video of light setup and comments on when things don't feel right
Added 2021-07-14 12:00:00 +0000 UTCThis will be kind of unsual to share. basically because it doesn't happen often. literally 2 times that i can remember in the last 13 years. When the energy between the model and the photographer is not working.
For me, photography is all about the connection with the subject. more than about physical attributes, beauty, experience or proportions. it's all about getting to know someone and making sure the images you create only exist because you two meet.
in this case, even if she is a really good successful model in Los Angeles, we didnt click. for some reasons too long to explain... we didnt have a single second to talk, share, get in touch or construct something together. the light was there, the setup was in place (long black sheet on lightstands and window light) and i had to start shooting while she was moving, regardless of what i wanted or she had in mind. 0 communication. so the video you see is an example of how someone moves for a photographer (any photographer, didnt happen because it was me)... i took the video, i clicked 6 times on the camera... and left. i never edited or used the images, i will never work on them, they feel so disconnected from me and so "standard" that i dont feel them, they dont say anything to my understanding. it's nothing against her or her performance, she moves like a pro!!!, but it's more about myself. if i dont feel special and that the images are something we create together, they don't make any sense on my gallery,.
i guess is kinda unsual to share work that "didnt work', but it's part of the reality we go through.
