This image was taken in 2007 during my first impromptu street shoot. His name is Ivan & I will forever be thankful to him for being my first subject.

to be or not to be…indecisive

I go back and forth between rich, lush colors…

& light colors that create an ethereal mood…

My thoughts: It is ideal to stay consistent with mood throughout a shoot but sometimes there are occasions when an image just looks better a certain way and thus gets stamped as the outlier image. My dilemma is often whether to stay consistent for the sake of the overall look which produces a more visually satisfying experience or edit each image the way that does that one image best justice. However, a compilation of clashing moods and imagery can often times be more detrimental. So I now must decide whether to show series of images only if they have a aesthetic theme weaved throughout or just share one picture, the best picture at a time.

Your thoughts?
