I took this photo of tomato and basil risotto stuff bell peppers back early last year and it’s still one of my favourites. Back when I did, I didn’t have any fancy equipment and actually still don’t. I just used the black side of an illustration board which I lined with wax paper to create that somewhat gray textured surface. I shot this outdoors in natural light with a makeshift “platform” in the form of cardboard boxes so I didn’t place the food directly on the floor. It was hot and I was sweating but I played around with the angles to see which side created the best shadows and textures.
The thing is, this whole photography process and journey of mine was mostly just trial and error. Still is. Through the years I made a lot of mistakes but that’s also how I learned what worked best and what didn’t. I never thought I’d discover so much of myself and my passions just from the one decision of going vegan but I guess this universe presents paths for you. It’s up to you to see what you can do and where you can go from there.
At present, I’m still navigating my way through life. I’m a 21-year old fresh out of college. So many people around me are working stable office jobs while here I am working remotely from home with multiple side projects, spending most of my days in the kitchen and behind a computer screen. I’m so grateful for my flexibility and being able to work on things I’m passionate about but somethings I just crave for a bit of structure to my days. But right I guess I wanna enjoy my early 20s of being free to make decisions for myself and work for my own personal growth. Yeah, I don’t know where this is going at but I just wanted to put this out there—midnight thoughts lol.
Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you find a path that makes you happy and fulfilled. Passion is I think hard to find and so many people spend their lives searching for what makes them tick and I feel so lucky to have found mine.
