100 Days 100 Photos Day 1

It’s very easy to stay in our comfort zone pretending everything is ok, even when things aren’t going exactly how we want them to go.

Are you living your life that way?

I felt like I hadn’t really challenged myself in a while, and I realised that if I don’t make some changes in my life now, my future won’t be as bright as I want it to be.
I decided it’s time to step out of my comfort zone and have another go at something I attempted last year, a personal project I called 100 days 100 photos. Last year everything was going great until around day 80, then I moved from London, UK, to Sacramento, US, and because the circumstances weren't perfect (I didn't have a computer to edit) I wasn't able to carry on posting daily, I finished the project a month later than expected. 

I want to use this project as a way to motivate myself to be more resourceful and sharpen my skills, not only my skills as a photographer and retoucher, but also my time management, communication, writing and other skills which I know will benefit me in the long run. It will also help me improve my lighting skills since every photo will be taken using off camera flash.

Starting today I will post 1 portrait/fashion photo, every single day, it will go up here on the blog before I post it anywhere else, and some photos will only be posted here, the last post will be on 8th October.

I invite you to join me on this journey and follow this project, I hope you like the photos and feel free to leave comments. Check the blog daily for new photos.
