Need feedback & opinion on my progress!
Read my story if You need some motivation to push more!
Around a month ago (after over a year of "trying" to start photography) decided to go all in to either love it and grow it or tick off as something that doesn't interest me (can't decide if You didn't try!)
Surprisingly, it was the best month of my life and this friday was probably best day of my life.
Long story short: started with posting an IG story about looking for people for some portraits. Two of my friends were interested (pics below, let me know what do You think, I had no clue how to guide them haha).
At the same time I got an idea to make photos for highschool graduates (last image example) - it would require stepping the fuck out of my comfort zone by walking to highschool I attended, speaking to teachers, headteachers, presenting the idea in front of rooms full of students. Spoiler: I have DONE it.
May seem like a simple thing, just getting clients and presenting the offer. Nah, just about 3 years ago I struggled to talk to anyone in my class, felt awkward, didn't even had the guts to look around, let alone make friends or doing something outstanding.
As for today I've been in 4 different schools, around 25 classes are/will be soon familiar with my offer and I can't wait to present it to them. I've done two photo seesions for the schools so far but more are coming after winter break. It was not easy at all, I've stuttered, shaked sometimes, heart was racing, however right after stepping into the classroom it fades away and I'm performing. I've never felt more fulfilled in my life, things that seemed impossible for me few months ago now are my norm.
This friday, two days ago, I've been again in 4 schools to talk with headteachers and for the first time in my life I cold approached a girl, totally randomly, and got her number.
If I made this much progress in a month and it's now fairly "easy", how further can I go? How much have I missed by making excuses for all of my life? I don't have everything sorted out yet, but I understood that I need to cut the bullshit and finally live without regrets.
