In life, there are times when we find ourselves waiting. We wait for circumstances to shift, for someone to come along and rescue us, or, in my case, for permission to start creating. This habit of waiting can be detrimental to the creative process. It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that the right moment or the right person will unlock our potential, but in reality, it's our actions that shape our destiny. Through action, we bring about change, and with change, we experience growth.
When I reached out to AJ, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. From what I could see, he had an incredible energy and surrounded himself with the right people. We eventually connected at my friend Ally’s studio, and together, we created something truly special. I'm beyond thrilled with the images we produced. Huge thanks to Ally for styling AJ in Seeker, and to AJ—I'm so glad our paths crossed.
One of my favorite moments from the shoot was when AJ said, “If I used my powers for evil, I would be a club promoter. Instead, I work with artists and curate experiences.” That quote perfectly encapsulates the creative spirit and the positive impact we can have when we choose to use our talents for good.
