I love this photo on so many levels! Mostly because it reminds me of how I created it. It was back in 2007... I got myself a Fuji prosumer camera and started photographing like crazy. Photography was my escape from the corporate world. After finishing work, I’d come back late at night, in low light, feeling so tired. But since photography made me feel alive and passionate, I kept enjoying the process of creating art and, I guess, self-discovery.

I think I was longing for authenticity after spending all day in an oppressive corporate environment.

Anyway, long story short... this photo was taken in a small bathroom under a bulb, with that old Fuji prosumer camera. The entire process of creating this photo took all night, setting the mood and vibe in Photoshop afterward. It had to "click" you know? To #FEEL right 😀

Over time, I’ve learned that we always embody pieces of ourselves in the things we pour our focus, attention, and emotions into. We transfer that onto a medium and make it immortal. And that creation can always be felt. That’s how this photo became my second best-selling #wallart print!
