RE: My first award winning photograph, and its story.
Absolutely love your photography origin story — and love the behind the scenes story for that photo. :)
And I'm going to ask because you mention it— how did you get your 16-35mm?
Thank you for the kind words... All right- that story deserves its own post... though, I need to get back to my harddrives that are in storage to get the photos that go with it... Short version: Friend's bachelor party. I met a new person and we became friends. He saw my portfolio and said he may have a client for me. For a few weeks I got to shoot escorts for this escort agency. They came into the studio, I'd get paid $300 / girl - and I got permission from the owner to shoot artistic stuff... since I already had the models there. The funniest thing was my dad - he was telling all his friends: My son has good looking hookers come spend time with him, and HE gets paid! SAdly, it only lasted a few weeks- they just needed good photos for their new website.
