So I know this has been posted everywhere but I gotta put it out there too. The latest Dove experiment rocks. I can always see the beauty in things, but sometimes do not see it in myself. I know everyone struggles with this and we should not. We are all beautiful and the sooner we realize this and own it the better we will be.
So here is a challenge for you. Go out and compliment 5 people, friends, or strangers, and genuinely mean it. If just seeing the good in people doesn't make your day better, their's will rock, Trust me :)
People sometimes find me to be distracted, lying low in the background while I am supposed to be setting them up for a typical portrait. They may think I am not paying attention to them, but they are wrong. I am paying attention to everything. The environment is my canvas, I see the sun starting to come out from the clouds, and realize that soon there will be a pleasing but transient play of light and shadow; I see an object that is far in the distance but know it will become part of a beautiful composition. I see the bird as it flies overhead and know it will bring an exciting addition to the image; I see a person's face, and know the emotions that flicker by can be frozen in time... I am a firm believer in capturing a person’s true emotion it what makes an image hold value. Emotion is beauty in its purest form. Everything is a photograph—all I have to do is look. And I am always looking. As a photographer, I spend time in my heart, and I shoot from my heart.
