Memoirs and musings of Darius Bashar. Toronto portrait photographer and writer, in pursuit of all things real, raw and intimate. 

This Is Brittany

 

I’ve taken almost 900,000 photos and I am still surprised by the secret of how photography really works.

My job as a photographer is to do 2 things:

Job # 1 → Find beauty

I see beauty everywhere and in everything. But more specifically, beauty is when someone takes the courageous act of letting the gorgeous light inside their heart shine through.

Job # 2 → Remind people how much fun it is to be themselves

Someone once described what I do as couples therapy, but the couple is the person I am photographing and their own heart.

So many of us go through life estranged from our hearts, our bodies, our dreams.

The way I use photography is to guide you back toward your heart, so that you can reconnect.

Initially it can be scary to see yourself, especially if it’s been a long time since you’ve had real quality time with your heart.

That’s why the journey I take people on is custom paced for each person. We can go really slow; there is no need to rush or force people on the path. In fact it’s much better and more productive to make sure the pace we set is optimized for joy.

Not only does this result in awesome photos, but it also results in an awesome creative experience where people feel empowered and can remember how beautiful, brilliant and powerful they have always been.

Big love,

D

PS: If this post excites you and you are curious about such a journey for yourself reach out. Everyone is welcome. Yes, I work with many top thought leaders, authors and speakers, but I also love working with humans who have never really had a full photography experience before. I have a great promo for the summer and there are still a few spots left.
