Sometimes, you have to get lost to discover the path you were always meant to take
-Vinh Van Lam
This image is from most recent trip to Cuba.
Sorry it’s been a minute since I last posted. Things in Los Angeles have been taking my attention away from posting and post processing my images.
With that said-
One of the core tenants of my work is this: Practice does not make perfect, a perfect practice makes perfect.You have to practice of practicing. Which is why I always am practicing at practicing.
The ultimate pursuit is the pursuit of attaining the Zen state of Shibumi- effortless perfection and elegance. A state of doing that is thoughtful thoughtless thought. Practice like you have never won and preform like you have never lost. Mastery is the variation of repetition over time.
I was taken by this image, as is true with all my images, as I was walking to a a performance rehearsal of the next ballet to be staged by the National Cuban Ballet. I this this empty practice room the space was filled with the ballerina. Her focus was so strong I felt it as I walked by and had to step back and let her take me to where she was.
Every issue of an image needs to be solved at moment of capture. I realized that the image of her needed to be in a space big enough to show how she filed it. So I took a second shot that showed the the left side of the rehearsal room. I don’t believe in cropping images. I shoot 99% of my images full frame.
I shot this with the Z6III NIKKOR 28-400mm f/4-8 lens. 1/1250 of a second ISO 1800. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.
