Aug 19 3 MONTHS DEEP

This had been my first time shooting another person since before the quarantine. Despite the fact that it had been so long, I felt great about shooting. I had taken time to practice my observation, mindfulness and overall awareness. Not only for my art but for my lifestyle as a whole. This change in mindset became a goal for me to reach during the quarantine. It was something to keep me focused and away from toxic behaviours. I had the time to work on myself and the things I want to do, which for many is a luxury. The fact that I couldn’t do these things was a motivating factor for me, it forced me to prepare and confront my weaknesses. Despite our hesitations of meeting during the pandemic, I knew this would be a great time to put my new skills to the test and work with a very talented creative.

Needless to say I’m happy we did, Maddy always inspires me. Modelling is one of many creative and technical mediums she has a talent for. If you see her work you’ll know what I mean. Art is a reflection of the time and place in which it is created, as is evident in these photos. Sometimes you have to have fun and joke about the world in order to open a dialogue about it, or even just to cope with it.

For anyone who is bogged down because of the isolation and scary times we are living in, especially here in the United States. I encourage you to keep pushing. Keep working on yourself, stay up to date on what’s happening in the world, keep protesting injustice and be safe.
