When I look at you

Lately I have been thinking a lot about perception; how even a simple photo and the message portrayed behind the theme of the shot can be perceived in many different ways. One of the greatest tools we have is the ability to decide how we, and the choices we make, are to be perceived. This is not always easy as our idea of who we are and the passions that drive our every action are constantly changing and growing into something bigger and usually always better; but the beauty of it all is that the choice is ours.
 
When Ashley and I are planning our next article or video, we always consider what it is that we want our readers and viewers to see, to think, to feel. And for this shoot, I wanted to stand out and inspire the daring to do the same; which is why I chose a minimalistic makeup and an eye catching, Kat Von D lip to add beauty to an otherwise ugly construction site - the backdrop of today's article. The images created for this article definitely fall into their own category, for these shots are not like any I have shot before. With so many trends and content concepts that flow through this interesting and beautiful platform that is the fashion world, it is almost too easy to blend in. But to fall in line to the steps of the crowd is to deprive yourself, and even others, of the joys that come about when you create something uniquely beautiful and different. After all, who wants to be just another brick in the wall?
