Next week I am going to photograph a great friend and her big belly.
Time for some floating in the air.
Once I heard that with the actual cameras, no one needs to know about photography. Just point and shoot.
I disagree. A good posed photograph involves a lot of emotion. From the subject that needs to open himself and let it go and from the photographer, that needs to get lose and open himself for the moment.
For the coming days I will keep my friend on my thoughts, her best angles, her smile, her temperament. The colors she likes and that match her skin. I will study the best lighting, taking into consideration her own house, and its windows. I want to work with textures, so tomorrow I am going to the market and studying some textile. Moreover: I will keep myself open for whatever wave comes and not get so attached to my plans (this was one of my greatest frustrations on my last sessions - things that don't go as I want them to).
And so I will get empty of everything else and concentrate into that big spot of silence inside myself, and to open the door for inspiration.
Gorgeous images, like this one which are among one of my favorites ever, will certainly come.
