Photographers delight in the ability to “paint with light,” to create images that captivate and tantalize the viewer. Like everything else in the universe, this creativity flows in cycles; it waxes and wanes just as the new moon eventually becomes full, then new again. And during those times when we fly upon the wings of creativity, we breathe again, hence the term, “inspire.”
Inspiration can come in many ways. For photographers, we are often inspired by the subjects we shoot. Fortunately, I was given the honor to work with KarenAlise. I was entertaining a concept that I had been dying to shoot for many months, but I needed a model with the perfect look, talent, and personality to pull it off. Lately, I wanted to take my photography to another level, to create more artistic style images. And the moment I cast that thought out into the heavens, I met KarenAlise, who immediately understood my vision for the shoot. The result of this collaboration was the images which represent a radical departure from my typical glamour model photoshoots. The beautiful part about this experience was that we didn’t have a clearly defined idea of what we were going to do. We allowed ourselves to “live in the moment” and create the space for spontaneity to arise. Once that occurred, the art appeared to create itself while we passively observed. Based on this experience, KarenAlise has inspired me to change my entire approach to photography, and for that I am most grateful.
