Spring Break
I needed to get behind the camera and play.
For about four months, I took a break from shooting any personal work or model tests because, for the first time, I was feeling burned out. It was a new and strange feeling. I’ve never not wanted to shoot and, to be honest, the feeling made me nervous. I thought, If I don’t want to take pictures, then what do I do? But I decided I better take the break. Of course I shot the paid jobs but the fun stuff had to be put on hold. It turns out the break was much needed and the excitement to shoot returned.
Wanting to get back behind the camera, I reached out to Dana who I had worked with before — first, along with two of my favorite twins and second, playing a small town dreamer — and asked it she and her boyfriend, Christian, would be willing to shoot. They joined me at a location I had wanted to try out. I brought clothes. We created. Played. Made stuff up. And I was honestly stoked to feel like myself again.
