anna and jason, welcome to the gallery! check it out!!
today, there are two things i’d like to tell you about matt: 1.he’s creative. 2.he’s competitive. these things coexist beautifully in our world and it means that we’re rarely bored- standing in line turns into a ridiculous game full of twists and laughter, to-do lists transform into impressive spreadsheets, even photography cannot scoot by without a touch of creative competition!
is it friendly?
yes.
but it’s also competition, baby!
throughout the week, matt reads articles on classic photography and new techniques while i browse fine art and fashion photography. we bring to our friendly competition two different backgrounds but a shared purpose, to capture the unique personalities of our clients. when we come home from a shoot and view the images for the first time yes, we’re proud of our own images. more than that, though, a mutual admiration strengthens as we begin to take in each other’s photographs, spot new techniques, and realize that without each other we’re not the complete package. we come as a team because that’s just how we work. like i said, it’s competition, but it’s friendly!
enough of the friendly for a second; we’re shooting this weekend and i cannot even wait to see what happens! …did i mention i’m a teensy bit competitive too? :)
…a teensy bit???? ;-)
I got a little sentimental when I read this post because it made me miss you two. And it’s a beautiful metaphor for marriage, bringing in your own unique gifts and talents and together creating something so incredible. Mmm. Love it. I can just picture you two sitting at your Mac’s on your Ikea desk and getting so excited about your shots and pointing out your best effects, angles, etc. in a friendly, but very competitive way. Love you two and love love love watching your life from afar.
