Recently, I’ve made a point to capture behind the scenes photos and clips of my work. It’s an amusing way to see myself in action. The snapshots tell a story and add more reality to the sessions. It’s rewarding to see the contrast of a quick iPhone photo, compared to the final project.
I often find myself climbing up on odd surfaces or laying down in the dirt. There’s a lot of squatting, army crawling and balance. Photoshoots are a quad workout! I’ve torn my pants and scratched my hands. I’ve stood in waist-high water, shivering on a February morning.
You also get to see the chaos and the odd posing the models are doing. Thanks to camera angles and cropping, the end result hides the reality of the posture that took place!
