I like when things look a bit half done.

Like, I may have forgotten to adjust my aperture so the image is too bright.

Or I forgot to move a prop.

Or the model is facing the wrong way.

I also like shooting without looking at the viewfinder quite often.

It doesn’t let me be perfect.

Maybe it’s my way of balancing myself out.

Because I already try to be too perfect in so many other parts of my life.

I don’t know.

Whatever it is, I like when my work is not too refined.

It feels honest.

And I like authenticity.
