How fortunate we creators are to have discovered an artform so in its infancy that everything feels new and incredible. You must swipe to see where this image came from. 👉 I SHOT IT IN MY BATHTUB, Y'ALL. 👈 For real. Entirely, except for the clouds. The water. The subject. It's mind blowing to me that I can use a camera and tripod (I didn't even have a remote, which made for some funny, slippery, and very wet camera antics) and I can make this. I'm not trying to say it is a masterpiece, but I would say it is incredible - the fact that I could do it with so little. A decade ago when I started photography I knew it was possible. I didn't know how, but I just KNEW it. I thought to myself - if they can do special effects in movies and create other worlds in images, then I can too. However long that may take, money and equipment and resources be damned. Brings me to tears thinking of how awesome that is.
One of the number one questions people ask me is: "But what if someone has already done it." Do you know what? I've literally never once asked myself that. Your intense desire to journey into curiosity should far outweigh the fear of comparison. I journeyed. This is where I ended up. I didn't care if it had been done before. Or if someone has a better vision. Or if someone has better resources. In fact, I take all of that as a challenge. Watch what I can do with LESS. Here's what I can do.
I hope you watch my new video, and I hope you create your own White Wall Wednesday image.
