Film Photography Challenge

In this video I film a challenge between two of my colleagues. The beginning of the video is a fashion spec I put together in the midst of the challenge. For this video I wanted to create something entertaining while still sending a message to all of you. And there are two take away messages from this video.

First, if you are passionate about something, go for it. Too many times i’ve seen this with artists and felt it myself - all of this self doubt. Comparison is a double edged sword. First it can be discouraging when you constantly compare your work to others who you admire. It’s great to admire someone, but realize we all have our own unique perspectives and we all have our own story to tell. The benefit to comparison is that it can also push you to elevate or reinvent yourself. Seeing how these two respected each other, soaked in each others process and tried to get out of their comfort zone was frankly inspiring to me.

The other message this video sends is that art is an experience that transcends genre. an important lesson I wanted to get across was that as a photographer, a painting, or even a song can inspire an idea. As a music producer, a photo or even a color can inspire a sound. The take away, don’t limit yourself, acknowledge the beauty that you are different, and keep pushing.
