"Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life."
- Omar Khyyam
Happiness is the most important thing in life, it only seems right that we should have a day dedicated to it. Nothing in life is ever worth it if you're not happy, you should always make the changes necessary to ensure your happiness.
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” - Anne Frank
Life is a beautiful thing, this world is a beautiful place, build your life around happiness, it's the key to a successful life
A few weeks ago we were asked to go down to Shimmers hair salon to take some fashion hair portraits for an international competition. It was something completely different to anything we had done before, but it was most definitely a great experience and I would love to do some more stuff like this in the future! Here's a little taste of what we got…enjoy!
I love photo shoots like this, when we get to really experiment and do something completely different to anything that we have done before! xo
It's crazy to think that it's now September, August and the whole of summer has just flew by, it's just passed me by without a notice. Looking back on the previous month it's so weird because some parts seem like they happened forever ago, but some feel like they happened just yesterday.
September beginning means the beginning of the next educational year, so the return to university. I have spent a lot of the summer period feeling bored and just like I haven't really been doing anything worthwhile. I mean, don't get me wrong, there have been some days where i have worked my ass off doing various freelance work for clients and I've really enjoyed that, apart from that I have just been so fed up.
When it's the end of the university year I get really excited for summer, but after about a month I feel really fed up with it. So I'm pretty much excited to go back to university, I can't wait to start feeling productive again.
I would be lying to say that I am not terrified about the fact that this is my last year at uni, this if the first time in my entire life where I don't know what the future holds, I don't know where I am going to be a year from now. The ideas of entering the real world terrified me, yet excites me at the same time, it's all I have wanted for so long. This year is going to be the year I work my hardest and truly make the most of the student life.
My dissertation is by far the most important part of my degree and it's going to be a really different project to take on, especially knowing i can create anything and bring one of my ideas to life.
Aside from university, over the past few days I've actually been getting a lot of freelance photography and videography work for the future which I can't wait to do. Some of it will be really different because it's something i haven't done before so I can't wait for the new experiences. I'm actually photographing a wedding on Friday, i find weddings so magical and being such a hopeless romantic I find weddings to be the closest thing possible in life to a fairytale and I just cannot wait.
Here's my showreel for 2014 so far!
I've really been enjoying building up my portfolio, it's nice to know that I am doing something that makes me happy but makes other people happy too.
