updates

So much happening I cannot begin to explain. I am SO looking forward to my holiday to Portugal next week. See the beach, my family and obviously take some lovely shots! I am now saving up for a 24/70.. will take a while as I have savings for other bits and bobs but when the time comes, I will embrace it! I believe everything takes its time, that life brings you things only when you are ready for them. Yes, way to spiritual for this matter but I like to apply that thought to everything in my life. WHen you dedicate your time to something you love (in this case, as we know, photography) , you tend to put into it whatever you feel inside. If you feel tired and desmotivated, the probability of your work coming out as well as It could of will be slim. Same goes to the oposite, when you feel great, you project greatness. It's not just about good or bad, its also other feeling people tend to forget, for example: If you feel weird, going through decisions in your life, a unexpected love , anything, you will projecte it in what you do. At the moment I am having to make big decisions in mine, some I am aching to make but you know what? It has projected very intense images because thats how I feel right now! I take advantage of how I feel.

Theres nothing in life that comes for no reason. Do what you do best, experiment, make mistakes, take bad pictures, take good pictures, do the worse retouching of your life , do the best retouching of your life, accept criticisms , smile, cry. I cannot express enough how important it is to feel what you feel in order to create beauty, no matter what it is you do!

With that, I shall leave you my most dramatic image so far which I am proud to have!

This weekend, Im staying in her room

So.. I'v been stuck in bed for the past 3 days as I caught a sudden cold/flu (not sure what to call it). I am terrible with not doing anything, Ill easily sink into boredom. As you know, its hard to think of things properly when you're not feeling good. My flatmate and good friend Ollie always likes to remind me in my low times that I should write what goes in my mind or tweet more (im trying to get into it..). Iv left him to get on with his life as I get quite needy when I'm ill (like anyone) and decided to write. One of the things is that this weekend Im suppose to shoot for a magazine and need to get my energy sorted to do it. We were ment to do it in a studio, but I have now decided to shoot in location, being this, the models rooms. Her name is Francesca Horton and she is one of the most photogenic women I know. Im trying to figure angles in her room and its pretty much going to be an "easy" one as her room is full of personality. She is a mixture of ex goth (ha) with pin-up and obviously I will abuse of that fact! Im gonna focus on all that personality. SHe has beautiful features and I'd forgotten how excited I was about it. She's awesome with makeup so no MUA required, so goes with hair. I was going to go for the whole shenanigans but decided to stick to her good techniques.

ANyways, blabbering along. Have a look at my new website and let me know what you think..

Also, thank you to my followers for your lovely messages. I will keep posting.

Till then, take care!

This weekend, I am going with the flow.

How exciting! Im shooting Samantha from MO management this weekend. They're a new agency and I feel its great potential. Gonna get cracking with some beauty portraits. This time I decided that the MUA Viola would choose the theme/ idea and all. I am going with the flow :) thats my new thing.. even in general life, I have chosen to just go with it and not worry so much. We are creating something simple and beautiful and thats the amazing thing about beauty portraits. I am really looking fwd to it! I have so many things aligned to shoot and I really feel these next shoots will be a boost on my portfolio.

2012 , here I come !

New Website ... and other things!

AHOI!

New website now :) I'm still tweaking it a bit but have been extremely busy lately but have a look. Im pretty excited!

Overall lately I have been involved in very exciting projects. I met someone called Marek Tarkowski at a model agency party (MOT) about a month or 2 ago . He's a film Director and is currently in London filming. I met for a meeting and we are creating something genius and exciting (seems to be the word of the day!). Last week I had the pleasure of doing some stills on his movie set which I hadnt done for a while. The idea is to study how he works. Marek will then come to one of my shoots to observe how I work. Then we know what to expect from each other.

I have a bunch of ideas in mind and so does he. We're equally passionate about what we do so I cant see why we cannot make it happen!

I have some more news I will gradually update you on. There are so many great things going on I dont think its fair to write it on just one post!

So with that here is my link for all you new readers: www.fabianadelcanton.com

and I shall leave you with one the backstage images from the set :)

2012

I normally sit down and have a think about what I want the next year to bring me. This year, I have decided to not make too many plans. I am a planner, a natural planner and as a woman , i always think 4 steps ahead. When it comes to work , I plan about 10 steps ahead. Until now, iv only just planned 2 steps. Sounds confusing, but its quite simple: I am not entirely sure what my next step is!

I mean, you have your usual steps, the ones you know you are going to take as a general thing, or else life would have no point right? but I've decided that this year, I am going to let things flow, I am going to trust my instincts and relax... I should relax more... :) What I want to say is that I am purposely not going to plan life as much, I am not going to plan for the whole year already.

I am going to keep shooting, keep publishing, keep smiling and most of all, trusting my qualities as a photographer and as a person and always become a better person with every lesson life teaches me.

So, if you want my advice, let the world talk to you, be more of a listener than a talker and trust yourself.

To everyone, have a great 2012!

Sophie

What a delightful surprise she was! Me and Hazel got together for another shoot and decided to do very simple beautiful images. We noticed that all we've done involves heavy makeup or a lot of info so .. We went clean simple and sexy.

All natural light and my lovely new camera! Sophie just knew what she had to do to as a model to make it all happen.

Our only issue in this particular shoot was weather to keep shooting or not :D

ENJOY!
