About MentalSwitch
Bio: After spending a significant part of my life in bondage, wearing the chains of Christianity, I broke free and now consider myself an Experimentalist. I try things, observe things and form my own opinion about things. Things that were once taboo are now familiar. Things that used to push buttons are now my friends. People are wired differently from one another. What offends one might be exactly what another needs. Keep an open mind and you'll realize that we can all peacefully coexist on this planet unless people start forcing their views on others. I'm not Wiccan but I love the Wiccan Rede: Harm none, do as ye will. I have been taking pictures all my life. I have been specifically active in photography since the fall of 2000. I have no training and have learned from studying images from other photographers and trying to figure out how they accomplished what they did. Rather than being well versed in traditional methodology I get to forge my own path. So many times I've been told "That goes against all the traditional rules and yet.... it works". In short, I do what I do. I make it a point to get in front of the camera (ie. model) at least a couple times a year. Photographers who don't do this can't possibly relate to what their models are going through. I want to be able to say that "I know what it's like" and have the pictures to prove it. How many photographers shoot nude models yet have never done a nude shoot themselves? There is credibility in having gone there yourself and I believe that if a model knows that I would, and have, put myself in his/her position then we can have a stronger trust and a better shoot. |
