Doing a bit of reflection today. Had a fantastic photo shoot last week (a mix of video and stills.) It was long day, filled with potential and I felt very excited about the product we had created. It took me a few days to recover actually, which I wasn’t expecting. But it is a testament to our productivity for sure.

I am especially excited to see how the videos turn out. We were lucky to be able to get an opportunity to work with a really talented artist named Jonathan Pears. He does a mix of all kinds of video, mainly focusing on Extreme Sports and Wake Boarding, but it expands to many different arenas. In any case, more to come on that later.

I guess it is a good sign, to always have a desire to keep trying new styles. Feeling like your work is getting stale or too repetitious. As I was reviewing my photos from the past few months, I have noticed part of an edge that I always liked in my photography was missing. I was taking great photos no doubt – but they had less feeling to me overall.

Next week, I am going to mix it up. And for me the best way to bring freshness into a photo shoot – is to explore other artists.

When I feel like I am in a rut – the easiest answer for me is that I have not been learning enough lately. And that – with modern technology is an easy fix! So work for me this weekend will include reading, reviewing and critical thinking.

But first….a good workout!
