“You are there reading this, no one else is reading it for you .
That’s how life is… people don’t seem to understand that behind the success is the grind, the struggle, the breakdowns and the rejections … They only see the shine, but not the process that makes it shine.
People nowadays only focus on chasing the instant fame to meet their short term satisfaction, simply to fill a void of some sort, but they have forgotten the long term life goals, objectives and success. Â
By acknowledging these sources of short term satisfaction, it will help cut out the bullshit, the rejections, the negativity, and allow us to focus on our long term goals, allowing ourselves to grow, to shine and feel fulfilled.
We must take any sort of situation bad or good as a lesson , especially those re occurring situation as this is life trying to teach us something before we may move on to our next task.
The world around is alive and talks to us in patterns and numbers… Be aware, take note of those queues, break out from the chains of pre-conceived notion of society; think love and long term goals and self defined success. Don’t let one bad experience hold you back from living the next.
Take a no as a challenge, not a rejection. Live long, wild and free … “

Starting the new year right, the first collection of 2019 is a session with Sebastian. I’ve known him for a couple years now since our last photo session together. He was an aspiring model and photographer at that time, but through his dedication, passion and tremendous amount of hardwork, Sebastian has made a name becoming a very talented boudoir photographer and filmmaker.Â
Listening to some of his stories and experiences about the modeling industry, the discrimination and body shaming, it’s atrociously humiliating. Associating this to some of the comments I’ve heard within the photography industry, models are somehow being treated as non “normal people”, their hardwork towards their physique are also being discredited and being seen as abnormal or even non-human. However one choose to live their life is really their own choice. I really despise the discrimination of all sorts.
Models are human too, they are no different like you and me.Â
