Finishing University
My last week. This week is my last week at University. I have been studying photography for about two years now doing the course part time, really taking my time to soak up as much as I can throughout the course. As I write this I am sitting at my desk working on my final ever assessment, well trying to anyway.

Happiness
What is happiness and what does happiness mean? Well I think for everyone that looks different, my idea of happiness is different to yours but what happens when your idea of happiness suddenly changes? For instance I finally have a full time job working for the government, super stable it's good money, the work is good, the team is good. I'm in a better place financially now then I ever have been. I am about to graduate from university. In theory I should be happy, I have no reason not to be happy.

First photo shoot of 2021.
Wake up. It was 6am and my alarm was buzzing, I have a Fitbit that I use as an alarm, instead of some horrible loud noise I get a gentle vibration on my wrist, it really is a great way to wake up, plus I set it to wake me when I am at my lightest sleep so I wake up easier and feel better when I do. Despite having to leave in half an hour I was sluggish to say the least.

Importance of a test shoot.
Recently I was contacted to do a shoot at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, which as it turns out I have never been to. I'm sure we have all been to Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens but how many of you have been to the Alice St ones? This shoot was booked for a Thursday afternoon at 5pm and being that I have never been and its location I decided I should probably go and check it out and do a test shoot.

Sigma Dramas
2020 was a crazy year for many, I was one of the many. Most have been quick to label 2020 as a terrible year, understandably so. For myself it was a year full of ups and downs, many professional and many personal. For today though i'll just discuss the photography side of things.

2020
Here I am, in the deep end without a clue. I do know one thing, luck may of gotten me the job, but I'll be the reason they keep me. With this mindset I know for a fact i have what it takes to excel at anything I set my mind too. I convinced myself that I am an underdog, I don't deserve to be here, I am under qualified and out of place. I have to and will work my ass of to stay here.

A photographers life
I am often told, a plan is only as good as its back up plan. Once again this has proven true and I'll explain. I had booked the studio out for a pretty decent session, four hours if I recall correctly, heaps of time to set up, shoot and pack up. I was planning to do a fitness style shoot as I really wanted to have that in my portfolio. I messaged a model that I had worked with previously and knew would be perfect for this and would be great to work with (as always), created a moodboard, researched lighting setups and everything was going well, until it came to make up.
