“Where have you been???”
It has been 7 months since my last post and yes I feel ashamed. But in all honesty, I have been working a lot. Both my full time job and as a freelance photographer which is hard but I have fun with it.
In my previous post, I worked with stylist Trend(IG: d.unikue.a)and model Kaiisa(IG: @st.kaii). Earlier this year, I was able to work with both(whom I call my muses) on a project and I could not have ask for a better dynamic. What Issa Rae say?????? Network across!
Night of the fitting.
March 2022, I had the pleasure of working with dancer/model(IG: b0sslady100). This shoot was a little intimidating for me because I’m not really use to shooting indoors. I struggle with lighting and how I should set my camera in those environments. Luckily this space had good natural lighting from the windows but I still struggled a lot.
After this shoot, I decided it was time to take a course on studio photography with Highland Agency(IG: @highlandagency). Here are a few shot from that:

Besides all of the content creating and becoming a better photographer, I have been trying to establish Drishana Nicole as a business as well as maintaining a healthy work/life balance. There are times when I need to put my camera down and just be present. Enjoy my loved ones when they are around. I missed out on a lot of amazing photo ops but I know there will be plenty more.
The next project I will be working on is merchandise, first thing being prints. If you follow me on my IG page(@drishananicolephoto)I posted a poll of the images I plan on printing first. Quite a few people have been asking for prints so it’s only right. I don’t have a time stamp on when the prints will be ready but it will be posted here on my site.
Until next post, which I hope to be soon, take care of yourself. Take care of your body and be gentle with it. Take care of your mind. Stay consistent. And stay out of the bullshit.
