A motivational photo shoot (Final Photos)

Hey guys!!! Photos have been delivered, good results! (Thank God)

One of the hardest thing when you are doing photography work, specially when its a style you don't normally do, its the judging part, will the pictures be good enough?, what would they think of my work? Would I be recommended to someone else ? Would they feel it was a good investment to trust me? Because when you are making photos for yourself, for joy, for simply enjoying what you do and clearing your mind is one thing, but when it is for someone else even if you are not getting paid, sometimes the pressure can be huge, and that is what I want to talk about today, aside of showing you how the pics look.

The majority of people just posts pictures in social media for fun, whether its something from their personal life or just something they like and are passionate about, and in some cases because of need for attention or validation. And all of that is ok, we are all humans, we all want some sort of interaction, online or out there in the real world. Sometimes social media helps, but sometimes it can be a really dark place full of negativity. This has always been there, but social media has extended the reach of everyone for better and for worse.

The fact is that we can be too hard on ourselves, we are always evolving, when you start at something you are not going to be as good as we want to, but eventually you will get there, working hard every single day, until we manage to reach our goals. But along the way we have to remember to be kind, be humble and be honest. You don't like something another person posted, choose between not answering aggressively and ignoring it, or express your opinion as best you can and as polite as you can be. There is already too much hate in the world. Or do constructive criticism. And if you get comments that people don't like your work, keep going, you will get there, you will find your place, your passion and you will be able to reach the happy place you are looking for, but only if you keep going forward.

This photo shoot in particular, was filled with lots of emotions, fear, doubt, joy, happiness, panic hahaha. But in the end I'm glad I got to do it, because I learned so much more, and despite that is was successful and the pictures got amazing reviews, I didn't know that before hand, and after color correcting them I felt proud of what I had done.

So don't desist on that dream, just find smart ways to fight for it, all the great successful people out there went through the same you are going right now, the difference is they never stopped until they had it. So go out and keep moving forward, and as Steve Jobs said "Stay Hungry, stay foolish!"
