One of the most common sayings that psychologists will use when helping people to manage anxiety is to "roll with the waves". Don't fight the nervous, anxious feelings, but instead just move with them. With that in mind I through myself in to a new area of photography. I'd always enjoyed shooting landscapes, but my sister-in-law suggested branching in to family photography, weddings and fashion shoots. At first it was very daunting, but with the new mindset of going with the flow I found a new, more relaxed me. While the modelling world can be ego-driven and tough, I only aligned myself with positive, happy models and it's been through these creative meetings that friendships have formed and like-minded individuals have helped with the journey.
In this photo shoot with Whitney Calladine, nothing was too hard for her. I had her marching up and down sand dunes and rocks, but we shared laughs and banter along the way. While it's daunting at first, rolling with the waves will bring people the inner peace they deserve.
