A Journey Down the Rabbit Hole (Editorial Photography, Greenville SC)
Friday, April 27, 2012 at 12:00AM The Answer is "Yes"
Would you believe the path I take during each project is as much of a "journey of surprises" for me as it is for our clients? Yes, It's true, I have a vision, and that's what each client is paying for. But within my vision there is a doorway. And this doorway must be opened each time if I'm to bring that "special sauce" that opens the magic to each shoot. This doorway is more like a rabbit hole that I fall into, selecting ingredients along the way that lands me at the bottom of a tree, where I see my vision come to life.
There is more than one answer to most projects, and I think the images below are a perfect example of two solutions leading to very distinct destinations.
If you're a creative soul, I encourage you to fall through your own rabbit hole, and find a world within that pushes you beyond the obvious. The way you get there is not to be laid out in strict terms, it's the ability to find the way that helps you continue to grow.
much love,

*These images were shot for The Houseplant for TOWN. Eric Brown, who I introduced in an earlier post, helped me style this shoot into the whimsical scene that you see before you. You don't have to do it on your own. Finding inspiration within others is all part of the journey of growth!
