Not Easy, But Definitely Worth It

It’s not easy taking photos of another seasoned photographer.

There’s more pressure because they understand the essence of the art form and they know what’s possible.

There are also more hurdles because they know “the tricks” to disarming people, and often will have fortified the walls around their own hearts.

And I get it—I do the same thing when the roles are reversed. It’s almost unconscious.

Thankfully, I‘ve photographed many awesome photographers over the years and was prepared when I got this amazing opportunity to capture one of my faves, my dear friend Mich Chiu.

This shoot was a ton of fun and also very challenging in the most soul-fulfilling ways.

I absolutely love these photos of Mich. They have a lot of sentimental meaning to me. I saw a part of myself in her that day and that brought me closer to both her and myself.

My favourite creative collaborations are the ones where we somehow transcend “you” and “me” and become something else… something bigger, and maybe something timeless.

Thank you Mich for saying yes. Thank you for trusting the process and really leaning in.

I can’t wait for our next collaboration.

Love,
