💥 MOTIVATION MONDAY 💥
Undoubtedly, you’ve seen my new cover photo and bio saying “We’ll Do It LIVE.” But what does that even mean? 🤔
It’s inspired by one of my biggest influences: Peter McKinnon. During a paid photo shoot, he was tasked with capturing the eclipse 🌘—but here’s the catch: two pilots had to pass in front of it, forming the Red Bull logo. 😱 WHAT?! Insane. No one else was able to capture the shot that day, but Peter did. Throughout the documentary, he and his team kept saying, *“Just do it LIVE.”*
Why? Because there’s something powerful about embracing the chaos and figuring it out as you go. 🎨 "The way of the artist isn’t about perfection—it’s about trusting the process." Like those pilots shaving seconds off their flight path for that perfect run, creating art is rarely an exact science.
🎨 This is a call to every one who struggles to create—the ones trying to capture all the beauty this world has to offer. 🌍 I know this struggle all too well in my own work, whether it’s paid commercials, weddings 👰♀️, portraits 📸, or anything else.
In this line of work, there’s always a moment where you’ve got to embrace “just doing it LIVE.” And honestly? That’s the best way to go. 🙌 I love candid moments because they’re real, raw, and unscripted. I love capturing a story as it unfolds in front of me, never knowing how the night will end. 🌙 And that’s what makes a great story in this movie we call LIFE. 🎥
So, go on:
🔥 Take that photo.
🔥 Shoot that video.
🔥 Paint that painting.
🔥 Write that book.
Be daring, and most importantly, DO IT LIVE! 🚀
