When I take pictures everything else melts away. My camera becomes an extension of my eyesight, controlled by my fingers. It’s my favorite feeling in the world. Literally.
It puts me fully in the present moment, unlike anything else. While I’m shooting my thoughts consist only of my subject, composition, frame, angle, light, shadow, shutter, aperture, iso, focus… I only shoot in manual because I want to be absorbed, taken fully away in it. Full creative liberty.
When I finish shooting I experience what can only be related to a come-down. I get so high while my camera is clicking that I come-down afterwards. The high lasts for about 30 minutes after the shutter stops firing, and then I feel tired. Exhausted even. Maybe it’s some kind of a dopamine hang over? I expend a lot of energy while I’m doing the thing, and I love the way I can see that energy reflected in my work. A visual representation of my soul’s greatest passion.
This is just a little insight into why I love what I do 📸 And if you’ve also found your calling, you know the feeling I’m describing. Pleasure, inspiration, magic. When you just know you’re doing something karmic. Allowing your soul to express and making its waves into the 3D world.
