One Day The Human Race will mature.

Okay. Im gonna rant for a second. But first off... sometimes when i type a lot... it does not always make sence 100% of the time. So sorry if that happens.

Anyway, sometimes i take pics that i personally like a lot. So then i will post those pics on facebook. Ohh woo woo. I wanna show my friends some pics I took. No where in, on or around that statement does it say that i am trying to publish those pictures on my facebook as an official portfolio for a big company or a modeling agent to see. I have had countless people (as in more than 6 or 7) come to be and voice their opinion on how unprofessional it is for me to publish a professional portfolio on Facebook. Hey you people. Get your head out of your ass. Its not my professional portfolio.

Just because a professional photographer has pics on facebook does not mean that they are trying to promote their work on a social network as a portfolio. I have a website that i publish some of my pics on and i am developing another one just for my photography. And just because i HAVE professional pictures on my facebook does not make me unprofessional.

Okay let me clear something up. Professional is being on time with your appointments. It is knowing how to produce high quality pictures for your clients. It is being creative enough to have an edge over amateur photographers. Professional is acting mature DURING your session and AROUND your clients. It is being up to date with trends and knowing what makes an awesome picture. It is the ability to promote yourself, book sessions, set up and complete the session and keep every promise you made through the whole process - all the way till the client gets their finished product and after if need be. There is more to it, but you get the idea. Professional is the way you act in a business setting. Not how much gear you have or what kind or any bs like that.

If you talk about my work and you are talking shit... and i back myself up and maaybe talk a little shit back to you... that does NOT make me unprofessional. I mean, unless we are in front of a client. You could argue that anything i do that the public can see should be professional... but i honestly dont care. I am already a really nice person and I respect mature people. I dont start shit or cause drama. I am mature and have a good well-rounded head on my shoulders - so I think I am doing pretty well for myself just from that.


And to everyone who has ever been there for a photo shoot or supported my work. Thank you so much!
