Maybe becoming a fashion photographer is a little delusional, but I think you have to be a little delusional to chase something you truly love. I don’t see myself ever quitting.
Fashion photography has always had a hold on me. Photographers like Paolo Roversi, Tyler Mitchell, Annie Lebowitz, Irwin Blumenfield, Richard Avedon and Irving Penn showed me how fashion can become more than clothing it can become art, movement, emotion, and history.
Shooting backstage with Ariadna Valtierra reminded me why I love this world so much.
The makeup artists creating every detail. The designers watching their work come to life. The models carrying their vision. The music filling the room. The energy of the crowd. The atmosphere. The chaos backstage. Then, for a few moments, everything comes together on the runway.
And I get to capture it.
I’m still learning, still dreaming, and still chasing those epic photographs.
Maybe the dream is a little delusional? Good.
I believe in tenacity, not luck. 💪📸
