(About PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY)
Respect - one of the best ways to show your interest in the people you work with. Respect will truly connect you with one another. Respect paves the way for understanding. Next minute universal love honors you with it's presence. All the tricks we have acquired to put up a show, to impress, convince, or win over someone will never work as good as true honest and openly shown respect for the uniqueness of another. As always, if we want to apply anything in connection with others, we must have learned to do the same towards ourselves first. So it is a good idea to do an inventory with ourselves, how consciously do we actually value our own wants and needs, our desires and dreams, our commitments and pledges? In portrait photography, when someone opens up and shows some glimpses of their true selves, these moments are extremely precious. We need to prepare for these moments in order to be ready for them when they occur. How can you show great respect towards yourself and others? The more you can openly value, appreciate and acknowledge yourself and what you are doing, the more you can do the same towards others. This will build a beautiful basis for a true and meaningful connection between you. It will open a door to trust, then trust will invite truth to emerge. Choose to respect, and real fulfillment will arise and grow. It needs some true listening, observation, empathy, some standing back. Sometimes it might need boldness to respect yourself first, and not compromise your own view for the sake of money, attention, or approval. True respect will create true connection almost automatically. The moments gifted from a connection based on respect are just simply the best! You will just know - everyone knows - somewhere deep within your heart…
