As a photographer, I feel like there is nothing more ridiculous to be a part of my bucket list than "Go Play In The Studio."But let's take a moment to remember, this is a judgement-free zone, and listen to my explanation.Not only am I a photographer, I am also a student... and not just any student, but a photography student.Take a few seconds to decide what that means...wait for it...Okay, now I'll explain.It means 99.9% of the time I get to spend in the studio, I'm shooting for someone else. I'm shooting for an assignment, and sometimes that can be restrictive. Sometimes being a photography major is exhausting. Why? Because for a solid 6 semesters in a row (two years) I have to shoot all the time, edit all the time, think of new ideas all the time, and I rarely have time to shoot for me with all of the other assignments. The best part, is having to take classes you have no interest in. I thought I was going to give up photography after taking sports and fashion classes. Those just aren't my thing... at all.. but I had to shoot them.So this past Friday, I went in the studio... and I played.Nothing I had to shoot. No particular way the images had to look. No one standing over my shoulder. And a whole equipment cage full of toys.Maybe too many toys, but I didn't mind. :)It was absolutely liberating, and it made me want to shoot again. Because I don't think there is a quicker way to get burnt out on something you love than to have to do it to someone else's specifications.freedom.Here's some of what we got!Set off the fog machine RIGHT in my face. It was horrible, and I almost choked to death. :)^^^This is my favorite^^^^^^^This is a close tie^^^
