#28 Polly - August '23 (Patreon)

Dear Patrons,

This month I am also working on photos made with Paula.

She traveled from a different country to make this photoshoot possible (although it was closer than let's say traveling from the other side of Poland - but it sounds nice).

Taking that into account I remember when it was difficult to find models, and I never even thought that someone will pay me for taking photos of them. Now, that I try to recall that - it wasn't that hard and I always considered myself to having more luck than brain.

Few things that I wanted to share with you:
1. You don't need great models at the beginning of your photo journey. Even if you'll have great models, you will most likely do shitty photos anyways and she will not want to share / publish them.
2. Take tons of bad photos, don't be afraid to take bad photos - but always try to criticise your work and try to improve on that.
3. After great success and milestone photoshoot comes shitty, humiliating photos. Learning curve is never straight. Stay humble and don't brag.
4. Observe, learn from others, absorb but when it comes to editing your pwn photos - let go. Try on your own, make your own art, make your own experiments. Otherwise it won't be fun anymore and you will lose yourself.
5. Listen to Lose Yourself by Eminem.
