Hey dudes, TGIF! It's friday finally which means we can go out and party and relax until a new week starts up again! Or maybe you guys can go out…. I will just content myself in staying home again… I know boring, but hey I'm not really going to randomly go out on my own, like I'm not that super sociable person that can just do that, on the other hand I will look like a loner in a corner. Drunk. And so no I will just content myself to stay home cozy and write a blog. So Finally! Today is the 29th which means I can publish the Black Sheep Fashion December issue photoshoot I did at the beginning of the month! Super excited cause I've been waiting for like forever to publish them because I spent so much time editing them and trying to make it the best of the best for you guys! I think this is perhaps the best Fashion shoot I've done yet, lots of preparing and the crew was just awesome! Seriously, I've been going through a hard time and spending that day shooting with amazing fashionable people was awesome, just lifted my spirits a little and it means the world to me. I felt wanted, and I haven't felt important or wanted in a while. So it felt good to be needed for a project where everyone creates something beautiful and I put it all together. So thanks to Jessica, who is the Creative Director from The Black Sheep Fashion to give me this opportunity because honestly, it just means a lot! A lot more than you can even imagine! A part from that, I just accomplished week 2 of 4 of exam session. ALMOST DONE GUYS! I honestly can't wait because it's draining me out and I can't wait to be able to focus on personal projects to content myself. One thing many of my teachers have taught me is to keep doing personal photoshoots because if you just focus on contract work, you will lose your passion of photography and it won't be as much, and I know what he means because with all these exams I haven't had a time to focus on my personal projects and it will feel good during the holidays to just have fun with my camera instead of working on homework. So a part from that, this week has been hectic, I also managed to fit in my favourite movie: Lilo and Stitch. Ok yeah I know a kid movie, but watching it this week really made me realize why I love it so much. It represents me. I can relate myself to Lilo as being the loner that doesn't really have any friends, no one invites to things and that craves attention… Again, I am going through a depression and I realize that the closest friends I thought I had aren't fully there.. And I try contacting back but no one really wants to hang so I kind of wait at home, waiting for someone to perhaps want me in a way. So I can feel important and wanted again. Lilo adopts Stitch, because she is alone and is sad. As to I who just adopted my little Isaac from a shelter… It's funny how some movies can relate to you perfectly, it's just like songs. It's fun to always find a song that relates to you, you listen to it over and over and it makes you feel good. I thought I might share this, not because I want you to feel sad for me, on the contrary, I just need to let it out. Because right now on this Friday night I feel alone and I need someone to talk to, and because no one is here, why not write a blog and let it out, it feels better when you express yourself. And after all, I am an artist. Enjoy,
Hey guys!! Well I hope you all had a good weekend! Over in MTL it was FREEZING! I thought I would be able to go snowboarding again this weekend but it felt like -100 outside so I contended myself to stay home with my cat and boyfriend to just well… Relax! Oh yeah I got my little M. Minou back Saturday and he is doing great! He still has medication but he's eating and being a cat again, or so I should say dog again! I have come to believe that Isaac is a dog inside a cats body! Umm yes! Because he follows me absolutely everywhere, and whenever I'm in the kitchen (literally every time) He miaows insanely because he wants food. and Saturday night when I made fresh xmas cookies for dessert he was begging to have some.. And he is very affectionate, which I can't complain because that's what I wanted, but when you think of it, cats are usually the kind of pet that needs alone time. But not THIS ONE! Yes, I am slowly becoming a crazy cat lady… Sshhh, it's okay I mean great people in this world are crazy cat ladies! Like… Well Grace! (The Vogue artistic director) DUH! In case you didn't know. So anyways a part from that I am now in exam time. (I would say exam week but sadly it's not the case considering my exams are on a period of 3 weeks) But to be honest, I'm loving it! Because that's the fun part of studying your passion! The exams become fun and challenging! Every day we have a new photo to deliver and it's so much fun spending time creating your photo and then spending the day in the studio doing your photo and then ending the day with your creation in which you are so proud! Last week I had me ''body'' project, in which I had to photograph a body part. So I decided to base myself with legs, and had my mother come in as a model and my concept was Ballerina, so she had ballerina shoes and she was dancing away as I was photographing her beautiful legs! It was so much fun, and the results show it! Then I had my natural light portrait exam in which I got to reconnect with an old friend back in grade school which was cool! I got to have a 2 hour photo session and came out with a beautiful portrait in which I had to print out and then we hung it at school to see everyones portraits! Now this week I am also very excited because Wednesday I have my commercial portrait exam 1 (there are two) and then I have a object exam 1(there are 2 also) So that will be quite fun also! So a part from that things are quite busy for me, the holidays are soon arriving, my christmas holiday vacation starts on Dec 13, so I'm quite excited to finish and focus a little bit on myself, relaxing and trying to cure my depression. Besides, the holidays are such happy times in life that I am excited to be into the christmas spirit! Well… I think my christmas spirit started saturday because I wrapped most of my gifts, and now all I need to get is my grandmothers gift, and oh my god I have no clue what to get her. But hey, I still have a month right?! :P I like to get all my gifts before December because it's less busy… I even got my little Isaac little christmas gifts for his stocking! (oh my god, I am a crazy cat lady!) So anyways to this, I hope you all have a great week! And hey! If anyone is interested in family portraits for the holidays, I am a great photographer! Hint* Hint* Message me if interested and we can plan a fun holiday shoot! Enjoy, xo
Hey guys!! Okay so it has been a while, what like 2 weeks or so since my last blog?! I guess you can thank exam week that has been excruciating because I've been running around, stressing out on creating concepts after concepts for my different exams and it is not over yet! So exam week is actually like exam month! My calendar is booked with studying and getting ready for all these projects and stress right now is at a high level. But then again it's quite exciting because I have never been more creative in my whole life! There are so many concepts for exams I need to accomplish that I have no choice but to keep looking for inspiration images and finding new concepts and now that I have all my concepts I just want to shoot shoot shoot! IT'S INSANE! But it's awesome at the same time! It's like.. Fashion week, where everything happens at once, and it's incredibly tiring but incredibly exciting at the same time! Speaking of. I need 4 more models for December 4th so if anyone is interested message me and we can arrange that! Now other than that I also had a fashion photoshoot with the Black Sheep Fashion again at the beginning of the month! This time we shot in the studio and let me just tell you it was awesome! We collaborated with Bang Couture to shoot their coats and oh my god they are really nice coats! Not to mention our beautiful model who wore them so perfectly! We also collaborated with Joe Fresh for the jewelry and Town shoes for the shoes! It was a good day of studio work and a lot of fun, I also invited my friend who does videos to shoot a promo video of me and it was really cool to experience that also! Like you guys might know, I am going through a depression and going back into the studio and shooting what I love the most and being with incredible people just uplifted my heart a bit and made me feel like before! Also, in case you didn't know I adopted a cat from the SPCA! The sad thing is that he fell sick and I had to bring him back and now he is in hospitalization.. Grr. But the vet told me it is normal for shelter cats to get sick when they get adopted because they get stressed out in the beginning, but good news is that he is doing great! I have visited him a couple of times (I'm going today) and he should be able to come home sometime this week! Which will be great! Having an animal with me I think will just help me feel less lonely and make me feel more wanted in the way of taking care of a living thing. Plus he is so soft and cuddly! So to this, I can not post the photos just yet from the Black Sheep Fashion (I will be able to publish them on Nov. 30th) So until them here is a picture of Isaac, my new little adopted friend! Enjoy, xo
