A friend of mine launched her own makeup company in 2020, right during the Covid-19 pandemic. She asked for professional shots of her new products. I of course couldn’t say no, but also understood this wouldn’t be an easy project. Where was I supposed to get access to a studio? I decided that wasn’t going to stop me. It was time to get creative.
The goal was to somehow plan out and create a “professional” photo studio… in my childhood bedroom. With a roll of white paper, a stool and some tape, I got to work.
This shoot now serves as a reminder to myself, that when there is a will, there is a way. The pandemic was hard for everyone. Letting your creativity and passion fade during such hard times was easy, but pushing myself to explore my boundaries and creativity was an exciting way to keep going.
Finding myself through my work is what inspires me.
