Wrapping up 2017

Long overdue but, it's time for a yearly write up or something like that. I wrote one for 2016 so I thought I'd write one again for 2017. 

2017 has been special, and it's been really kind to me. Honestly didn't expect it but thank you Life for being so kind. I've probably already said it before in other posts so I'll sum it up. I went for my first ever instameet last year around April / May (thank you Randell for giving me that courage and support by going with me) and from there it's been a life changing past few months. I've met so many people through Instagram and I am grateful for that.

Really thankful that I got to meet Ivan who's now my shifu (master) for photography, because he has taught me so much and given me so much opportunities. Because of that, I've had the chance to find my own path in photography and refine my style. Something I've never been able to do before. Trust me when I say that it's hard for an introvert like myself to direct models, but I slowly gained the confidence to do it after shooting with Ivan so often. 

I've had the opportunities to work with a lot of amazing people this year as well, and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

Each and everyone of you has had an impact on my photography in one way or another and y'all have helped me to improve so much. Thank you for putting up with my slow and awkward directing, and sometimes very weird posing. Especially Randell, I've made you done so much weird stuffs in the name of art and more will come. 

I actually can't believe I worked with so many people from September till now, considering the fact that I was away for November and half of my December. 

I'm sorry this came so late. I originally wrote it in the middle of December, but the past one month has been insane. Insane in a good way though. But I'll leave that for another post.
