Not Perfect
Everything is perfect
Everything is neat
My model comes and sets herself up while I get my camera
I hand her her prop and tell her what to do
Everything is perfect
Until everything is wrong
The sun isn’t in the right place
The wind blows my model’s hair everywhere
Ok, not perfect
What do I do?
I adjust
We set up in a different spot
She puts her hair up in a bun
We capture some good photos
But not perfect
She looks at me oddly while I try to find the perfect angle
Ok still not perfect
It’s too late we have to be done
It’s still not the perfect picture and I am frustrated
I realize as I look more closely that it was never going to be perfect
No matter what I did
Because even if it wasn’t perfect, it was my picture
In my own style.
