Self portraits are so much more than your average selfie. Why wait around for people to model for you when you can model for yourself? I’ve found taking self portraits are actually a really good way to practice composition set up and model posing.
It is sort of crazy what just a small body shift and head tilt can do.
What do you think of when you think of the word college? Parties? Work? Fun? Social? I think “Complicated.” College has been one of the most intense times of my life, and I still have what feels like so long to go. Trying to balance work with school, AND find time to do homework in-between has been a rollercoaster of crazy. Plus trying to find time to have a social life on top of that is basically impossible. If you are one of the ones who can have a social life, work, and get good grades please share your secrets! I’m literally begging you. (;
This week is dead week. Next week we have finals, and life is happening so hard. I got in a car accident recently and now have my first ever car loan. Our landowners are selling the apartment complex we live in and have been doing walk throughs/ inspections- so I’ve needed to get our pups out of the house so they can do their thing. I am failing chemistry. It makes zero sense in my brain, and this is unfortunate because I need three chem classes to move on to my harder biology classes so I can graduate. On top of all this I am struggling so hard to find time to take photos and practice new lighting and editing techniques.
“Quality is not an act, but a habit.”
This quote is what is keeping me coming back to photography. I love the whole process of the art of photography. It just seems like there is no time at this point in my life.
I simply can’t accept that. I continually come back to learning about photography in the times that I really should be focused on something else. It calms me, and gives me so much motivation to go out and try new techniques.
Edited using a new style I’ve been practicing.
Right now, I am learning how to blog. I always thought that this would be easy, but no, I was SO wrong. A good chunk of time I have no idea what to even say. But a quality blog will come eventually, as long as I make working on it a habit.
How do you stay focused and keep habits when life hits?
