Life & Henry Moshizi

Monday, May 31, 2010 Posted inALL

I just ran into these beautiful shots taken by Henry Moshizi. They’re so incredibly beautiful and inspiring to me. Works of art. Life here has been hectic lately. Moving homes is stressful. On top of the fact that we’re having a huge family reunion next week. It’s just stressful and all I want to do is shoot. As you all probably know, my new website is finally up:

http://www.alexbeadonphotography.com

I find myself desperately reaching out to settle on a certain “type” of photography, but feel like I have nothing to hold on to. I love all photography – how can I choose? Spent lots of time today and yesterday emailing models and finding hair/make up artists etc to hopefully work with. I feel so inspired but feel so still sometimes.

I feel lost. But I know it will come with time. Right now I just need to focus on shooting as much as I possibly can – and try to get my prints site and business cards up and running.

One of the main reasons for the website was to have a “professional” place to post all of my best work so that I’d be able to be more myself here on this blog. I hate feeling like I have to say certain things or be a certain way and I really want to let go of that as soon as possible and just be myself. This blog is really for myself, to document my photography journey. And I don’t want to have to worry about what I post or who I’m posting for.  This is my attempt as being as honest and open with the world as possible.

Here are some shots I’ve taken recently:

PS I have a shoot tonight that I’m really looking forward to :) :) Can’t wait to see what comes of it!!

    Good for you for making the choice to be honest on your blog, Alex. Once I let go of trying to be a certain someone on my blog, I felt freer. And although I still feel embarrassed in hind-sight about some things I write on my blog, at least I can look back years down the road and truly remember the journey. I also love all your personal posts — you are so insightful. Wise beyond your years :) As for feeling still right now — I think it’s good for everyone to have times like that. Someone once explained to me that the heart isn’t constantly working — if it did, we would be dead. We think of the heart as always working, but in truth, it beats and then stops … and beats and then stops. It takes those moments of stillness in between the beating for life to go on at it’s fullest. xoxo, anda

    I really like the 3rd photo!! <3 Good luck with everything. You got your website and blog up so soon, so I have much confidence in you that your cards/print site will be done equally as fast (and awesome!)

    Gorgeous pictures. :) About your internal struggle, I have only few things to say… No matter what type of photography you will eventually set for, there is always that thing called “shooting for yourself”, when you can actually be free of any possible restraints and just take your time.
    The photos on tumblr from Henry Moshizi are really inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
