Photography has become very therapeutic for me as of late, I recently figured this out about 3 days ago while shooting with the Lovely Shanria (@PoiseNCoolWhip on twitter). I worked with her before on a music video for the song "Murderer" by a great artist named Charm. Since we had great chemistry on that set, I thought why not do a photo shoot with her. So after the video wrapped, I reached out to her and asked her if she would like to do a photo shoot. She agreed we set a date and time and everything was all set. But life has its way of interrupting your plans. Literally the day after Shanria and I made plans a family emergency comes up. So I had to make sure everything was OK back home..which is Boston for those that don't know. I canceled with Ms Shanria, and made a few calls, a couple days later I was able to have a friend back home take care of everything for me. So I no longer had to fly home, and I could now do the shoot, only problem, because of my Virgo nature, I am sort of OCD about being prepared. Due to everything going on back home, I lost focus and was unable to plan out the shoot. I was a little frustrated that I would not be able to shoot what I wanted, but I needed to shoot something, I needed to release that frustration and the best way to do that was to just shoot.
After fighting my own stubbornness I decided to just do a fun and random shoot. I sent Shanria a text and she was very understanding and wanted to shoot as well, so that's what we did. One of my favorite places in Atlanta is Little 5 Points, the vibe, the look, the people, and all the great art. Figured that would be a great place to shoot since there are so many beautiful backdrops. Only thing I didn't consider was how cold it would be that day, and I mean it was cold, 34 degrees to be exact. But like a true professional Shanria endured the cold and we had a great shoot, and most importantly got a lot of shots we were both every happy with. So as it turned out just doing that shoot made my week a lot better, all the stress from life had disappeared and all that mattered was my art. I hope you all have something that helps to keep you grounded and gives you peace when the world around you is in a state of chaos. That is what photography was to me this past weekend, below you can view some of the photos.
