For so long I was scared. Scared to tell people I wanted to be a photographer. Seems silly now, but I remember a time when my fear was almost paralyzing.
It was too personal, too close to my heart and I was afraid of what others would think. What if no one likes my work? What if I fail? The only thing I knew for sure was picking up a camera made me deliriously happy, in a way I couldn’t quite explain or understand. Holding my camera gave me the permission to explore intimidating area’s and talk with people I would have normally overlooked. Pushing me in way’s I could have never anticipated and forcing me out of my comfort zone.
Being a photographer has made me a better person. For this, I will always be thankful!
I’m glad you got over your fear because your work is beautiful! I think this is something that everyone experiences when you are in an art field putting yourself out there for everyone to judge and give there opinion on. But lets face it, if it makes you happy no one’s opinion should stop you :)
Keep up the beautiful work!
Beautifully said Kaysha! I am so glad you have found something that you love doing, your passion shines through your work! Keep pushing your fear aside and only do what you love! It is the only way!
