This week's blog homework assigned by @rambo and @missy (yes I know I have been uber lazy with my blog homework and I never do it please forgive me thank-you)
How do I deal with stress? Well, to be honest most of the time I don't and I shut down and freak out about everything BUT, since being on the right medication, I have started to get healthier and better at managing my time and getting more things done.
I am currently studying at UNI, i've just finished a short course to hopefully find a full time job and most importantly, I spend most of my time shooting and retouching.
I have been photographing for 5 years now, and it is the one form of art I have taken to most. It used to be music, but I have found I can show my feelings more accurately through imagery, and I have recently incorporated music into my art as quite a large inspiration.
Although when I put myself through too much pressure, either through booking too many shoots or falling behind on retouching sets. Photography is always something I come back to and never give up on, no matter how hopeless everything seems. I consistently express myself through my photography and it has brought me closer to a lot of wonderful people and has helped me through my journey of being diagnosed and dealing with that. I have recently shot the most erotic set I have ever done and I really love the outcome, I think I will continue to do more erotic styled shoots for my Patreon and just keep myself busy.
So, yes, photography is my outlet for stress... and well everything really. Modelling is like... myself as a character and my photography is myself as a soul.
