IMHO there’s two levels of professional opportunities for young photographers: the work they feel confident they can execute smoothly and the work that pushes their boundaries usually offering a chance to showcase their potential at a higher level. The concept of readiness often involves a mix of technical skills, creative vision, and even emotional maturity to handle the pressures of more significant projects. Both opportunities need to exist for growth and cultivating your career but I would personally say only a “select few” are presented in this manner to begin with unfortunately. Smh
Also if you got the call to shoot Zendaya for Vogue would you be ready? Be very honest with yourself

This is so important. I’m writing this in my notes as a historical win. Can’t wait to talk about it for years to come I hope one day fast fashion manufacturers can get sued for stealing designs.
I won. I won my appeal. The Luxembourg court has ruled that Jeff Dieschburg infringed upon my copyright when he used my work without consent. Using a different medium was irrelevant. My work being 'available online' was irrelevant. Consent was necessary. 1/

🎙New episode🎙 At a low point, @igobyjo found plants gave her joy. She searched for a space to nerd out & talk about plants with others. When she couldn’t find the space she craved, she decided to create it herself. Hear the story of @noiregirlsplant: gettogether.fm/episodes/jodi…

Social media is so toxic for our mentals causing us to consistently focus on & compare what we don’t have, what we haven’t accomplished, instead of reminding us of everything that we do have and how lucky we are. You are amazing, don’t let social media make you feel otherwise ❤️

Sasha Exeter (@sashaexeter) calls out #jessicamulroney for threats of her livelihood. Mulroney has since been fired by CTV. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Today I’m eating cake & kicking my heels up. Lies. I’m at work. But work (or even a deflated #4) can’t stop my joy. If anything it’s a metaphor for this life. Messy, imperfect, joyful & uncertain. Exactly as it should be. Thank you for all the bday love you’ve sent my way 🎈. – at Toronto, Ontario

“Lots of people want to ride w/ you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus w/ you when the limo breaks down.” -Oprah Limos are cute but I’ve walked barefoot with most of these bishes & the love stays strong. 📸: @igobyjo
