Since the summer concert season has come to a close, I’ve been thinking about all the fun we’ve had so far this year and how much I’ve grown as a photographer.
I’ve been so fortunate to have a couple of photo gigs every month since I started doing EFG Creative full-time back in February. I went into this year thinking I’d be doing mostly design work, but the photo gigs kept coming, so I took those opportunities as they came.
So far this year, I’ve photographed a Mardi Gras celebration, Boulevardia, two Pride parades, an anime convention (and #SquirtleSummerJam), and many late-night concerts.
I still don’t consider myself a professional photographer (I’ll settle for semi-professional for now), but I definitely see a future in it alongside my design work.
I’m grateful for my friends (old and new!) in the performing arts sector who have given me a place to practice my craft while I figure this thing out.
As always, music is love.
