i very rarely go into any kind of shoot without some idea of what i want to leave with. to me this pre-visualization helps me get prepared and gives me a direction. i'm also a firm believer that you have to be willing to completely let go of that vision and be able to move in a totally different way if need be and not freak out and lose focus. versatility is a really critical thing to being a successful photographer. possibly the most important thing. one way i work on my own versatility is by challenging myself with unique locations and situations.
this image has lived in my head for a very long time. for one reason or another i could never find the right person/place/time to make it. but it stuck around and kept knocking on my brain wanting out. it's still not exactly what i had envisioned, and maybe at some future point i'll do it again, but for now my brain is quiet. for now. that doesn't last long.
