Capturing Confidence Through High-Quality Photography
A Great Photo Can Change How You Feel
IT’S ONE THING TO TAKE Photos That Make You Feel Like Your Best Self, IT’S ANOTHER TO HAVE SOME TAKEN OF YOU. LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!!
I LOVE MYSELF SO MUCH!!!!
I WANT TO START BY SAYING SHOUT OUT TO MY ROOM MATE AT THE TIME, BLU ESPOSITO FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT OF HIS DAY TO SNAP THESE PHOTOS FOR ME. THAT SAID, I NEEDED THESE PHOTOS TO SUBMIT IN FOR A MEDIA CREDENTIAL AND THIS DID THE TRICK JUST FINE. THE REASON I AM TALKING ABOUT THESE 4 IMAGES IS THAT THESE BRING BACK SO MANY MEMORIES. THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY. 2023 WAS A CRAZY TIME IN MY LIFE AND I WAS TURNING THINGS AROUND LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. IN THE PROCESS OF ALL OF THAT, I HAD NEVER REALLY TAKEN THE TIME TO VIEW MYSELF HOW OTHER PEOPLE WOULD. AND WHEN I EDITED THESE PHOTOS TO SEND OVER TO IOWA ATHLETICS, I DID JUST THAT.
TO KEEP A LONG STORY SHORT, WHEN I LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS, I SEE A YOUNG MAN AT THE AGE OF 22 THAT DID NOT WHAT HE SHOULD DO, BUT DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ANYWAYS. WHEN I LOOK AT THESE PORTRAITS OF MINE, I SEE A MAN WHO IS PROUD OF HIMSELF AND HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN LIFE. WHEN I LOOK AT SOMETHING THAT WAS TAKEN FOR THE PURPOSE TO IDENTIFY MYSELF TO OTHER, I THOUGHT I SHOULD MAKE UP MY OWN DAMN MIND ABOUT MYFELF. I’M GLAD I HAD THESE PHOTOS TAKEN FOR THEY ALLOW ME A MEANS TO REMEMBER AND REFLECT ON AS I MOVE THROUGH LIFE. IT’S JUST A PHOTO YES, BUT WHEN I SEE IT, LIKE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY LOOK AT PORTRAITS OF THEMSELVES, I AM IN AW OF WHAT I SEE. CONFIDENCE THROUGH THE ROOF, AND AM PROUD THAT IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY, I CHOOSE NOT TO GIVE UP AND KEEP REACHING FOR MY DREAMS AND GOALS.
SO I’LL LEAVE YOU WITH THESE, TAKE PHOTOS, MAKE VIDEOS, PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT, OR DO IT YOURSELF. I’M TELLING YOU FROM PERSON EXPERIENCE, ONE DAY, YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND FEEL WHAT NEEDS TO BE FELT IN THAT MOMENT. AND KNOW TRULY WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HUMAN BEING!
