Shooting Mishaps & Staying Positive

Recently I had the opportunity to shoot with the stunning Cionna Roque (@cionnaroque on Instagram.) I have been trying to shoot with her on and off for a long time and finally time had been on our side. Initially i had not planned on shooting Cionna where I did but the location I had picked out was closed when I got there! Now I know for me when a shoot doesn't go smoothly it can feel like the end of the world because your vision is no longer acquirable but the key for me is just to think outside the box and remain positive. Its really important not to get discourage to the point where you no longer enjoy what you're doing because it will reflect in the shoot (at least for me since my emotions are so tied into my art.) I find that when maybe a location doesn't work out or the model needs to be switched last minute the best thing to do is just to stop, relax and remember it's not the end of the shoot, and then look around you for what you can use instead to recreate your vision just in a different way. If there's a will, there's a way! 

Stay positive & stay blessed,
