Okay… why does posting something outside of my normal style feel mildly illegal?
I’ve had the privilege of photographing this family for the last few years, and every time they step in front of my camera, we create something that feels like us. But this time, we decided to shake things up a little.
Something different. Something fun. Something that let me stretch a completely different creative muscle.
And I LOVE it.
But then came the part where I actually wanted to , post it.
It’s funny how, as artists, we can become so attached to what people expect from us that stepping outside of that little box can feel strangely vulnerable. My work has a style, a feeling, a certain way I normally see and edit a story, and I’m incredibly proud of that. But being an artist also means giving yourself permission to play.
To experiment. To make something simply because it excites you.
Not everything we create has to fit perfectly into the little box we’ve built for ourselves.
Sometimes , creativity is supposed to wander.
So here I am, posting something a little different, feeling oddly nervous about it… while simultaneously being completely obsessed with it!!
Consider this my reminder to myself, and maybe another artist who needs it…that you’re allowed to evolve, experiment, break your own rules, and create something just because it makes your l heart happy.
