Shooting with my good friend @templesandtea has become an annual event.
—
—
We always begin with the necessary life-catch-up over a hot beverage.
—
—
But then we roam the streets of NYC and find things to shoot.
—
—
We went to see a couple of street photographers, @jaaphotos and Louis Mendes. It’s always nice talking to other professionals. We share ideas and perspectives that are necessary to succeed in the business.
—
—
They shoot film and sell the Polaroids/prints on the spot. Both of these photographers have made a living for years by doing this type of work.
—
—
Then we continued our walk and created a photo exercise necessary for EVERY photographer. Asking strangers for their permission to shoot.
—
—
This type of exercise helps build confidence, gets you comfortable with rejection (not everyone will say yes)…
—
—
And more importantly forces you to search for, and create opportunities.
