Today I fulfilled one of the goals on my Life To Do List that I was particularly looking forward to getting the opportunity to seize. I have had an ongoing interest in photography since I was in Junior High, but never chose it as a profession because I was focused on the lights of the stage.
In the past few years, I have expanded my passion for photography, especially as it relates to my travels. With the reception of positive feedback to my images, I longed to make the transition from “hobby” to “job.” With my recent investment in a Fuji S3 Pro, I’ve got my nicest camera to date and have take many a practice picture. What a joy to then be greeted with the opportunity to use my talents for the benefit of others and simultaneous cross off #6 on the list: Get Paid to Take Photographs.
My subjects, Vanessa and Tina, approached me with an exciting proposition. They are newly entering the fashion design business and looking to being branding. They have named their company “Elegance of Serenity” and are creating items for the curvier worman from head to toe. As Vanessa says, “Who wants to shop for what looks like their Grandma’s bra?” They are building their company website and will be using these photos to introduce themselves to their eager clientele.
These shots were fun to do as both girls mimicked their most recent ANTM poses, cursed Tyra Banks for making it seem effortless, and tippy-toed around West Hollywood with me in the sprinkling rain. As soon as their website is up, we’ll be seeing more of these fantastically sassy and talented women.
