"Sometimes, it's like shooting a movie," when I get an assignment, I get an idea in my head, similar to a script. if needed, I search for a locations which will compliment the scene, or, when using an indoor setting, I experiment to achieve the perfect lighting. The photo appears in my head and I know the style of model, the shot will require. Initially, I might view the model(s) as props. Then suddenly it clicks, and I can see the personality in their eyes. I know then, that I can shoot and direct them for any role and my vision will be fulfilled.
