So… I went through my forgotten Facebook to find these gems… 🤣 Just so you can feel a bit more inspired knowing I used to suck a lot when I started. Yes, you can laugh! Lol
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Love watching your videos Es una Bendición! Saludos desde Texas 🤠🙏🏼
I think all the early pictures you showed were good. It is good that you are hard on yourself, because it drives you to grow. But I do not think there was anything bad with your early pictures. I am saying this not as an expert (I am not), but as someone who enjoys looking at photographs.
I don't think looking back is embarassing at all! No matter what we do, we start as a beginner. Only the people who are willed to acknowledge that and push past it by learning and getting better, will eventually become really good at what they are doing. So, be proud of how good you became, instead of embarassed of where you came from! Thank's for the great videos and the valuable tips you hand out for free! 👍
Zorionak Laura, desio onenak eta zorte on
your such an amazing person, thank you for your videos
Such a fun video! Loved looking back at your old pics and it’s amazing to see how much you’ve progressed!! ❤🔥
Haha sweet…and brave ✌😎
Thank you Laura, for sharing these very personal and vulnerable experiences. Makes it so much more relatable. Actually, your first edit reminded me of some pictures I edited two years ago and I barely can look at now. So thanks for this encouraging story to also appreciate how far one has already come!
Thank you Laura! I absolutely love your videos. Your frank, honest explanations of all facets of your journey are such an inspiration. I always feel so inspired after watching you. I love your energy!
Wow! You reminded me of myself a couple of months ago when I got invited to shoot one of the candidates for this year's Miss Universe and a fashion show (Arab Fashion Week in Dubai). I was so sick that day and I almost passed out after shooting the models backstage and then waiting with the other photographers for the show to start. I had to take painkillers for the fever to go down. I was wearing a mask to keep everyone around me safe but I was suffocating 😅. Still, the results were incredible and they loved my work and now I'm working with them every now and then.
JAJSJS soy de España y el acento español al hablar inglés es tan único e interesante! No digo que hables mal inglés, para nada, sólo que me encanta que se nos note a los españoles con el acento
Thank you once again for the encouragement. You might have a new mentee in couple of weeks 🤔
This video is really helpful for beginner photographers, it teaches a lot of things, thank you!
You are the best keep up the great work. Thank you
great video and great timing. Im going through my old film photos to scan some worth keeping ! my bin bag is way bigger than my keep bag !
Laura💕!! Thank you so much for this video and also for the hard work and your great support in the photography community. The video is very useful, valuable, super encouraging. I really need to hear that. Big Love!! ❤Ciao
Hi Laura! Thank you for exposing yourself in such a sweet and sincere way!
If that makes any sense to you, I want to be truly honest and tell you that I disagree with your decision not to cancel the job or better find a replacement. It is clear that you think you did right but I believe you have formed this opinion based on the the happy results for your health. If you had lost your kidney, today's topic would be more like "how not to treat your body as consumable". Opportunities arise all the time in an industry that cares little about us. Sorry to upset you with my comment. Still love you!
Dang almost all of the things you did I did too and some are still doing. That watermark and over editing really hit me! 😅 I am starting to cringe on my own photos🤣 Thanks for the laugh Laura! 😂
What's ur name on Instagram
Laura! I was a pretty hot illustrator when I left art college. After a couple of years I got fed up with only having to use a portion of my talent to command high prices. I decided to quit commercial work to be an artist… it took me six years to find my voice as an artist. I made the worst crap imaginable to get there but I went to the studio every day. I’m now an internationally acclaimed artist. Anything you really are passionate about can be achieved if you refuse to give up.
Thank you so much for this video, Laura! I found it very valuable, exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for all your hard work and the great impact you make on the photography community ❤
So helpful, Laura! Thanks for showing us your first photos. So crazy to see the improvement!
No. 1.background is too busy, apart from the colours. 2, subject doesn’t tell a story. 3, busy, needs wider aperture to blur background. 4&5 agreed background. 6, what is the subject? 7, improving
Ouch ?!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I Love it! Thank you for sharing. My editing was TERRIBLE 😂
Not that it’s great now but it’s definitely better! 😁
Wow I loved the pic of you with the guitar – your wild eyes were my favourite part! 😉 It's funny how we all perceive things differently – another reason not to get down on yourself about your work -what you might think sucks somebody else might love.
Its very refreshing to watch your videos, I suck with editing and you got me interested in stockphotography. There is a bigger learning curve to become better than earning money. Thank you for your humor, learning and listening is so much easier then.
Great topic Laura – What I love about art – It is all based on the eye of the beholder. There are professional photographers that I really dislike how they edit their photos. But they have done very well in the art world. And I am sure there are people out there that like your earlier stuff better. But I love your point about a person going back in time and seeing what you did and reflecting – and how you feel you have improved your own personal style and then always looking for ways to move forward.
Very inspirational, thanks for allowing us to see your early works ❤
Perfect timing on this video. I have been looking back at my photos from 2 or 3 years ago and it is gratifying to see improvement. And where I can continue to improve in both photos and video. I like the NY baseball guy photo. To my eye (on a small screen) it looks right. Color is muted, image is sharp and gritty. To me it's a style of street photography that captures the emotion, the rough and tumble of NY. Keep up the great work! So glad I found your channel. ¡Abrazos y besos grandes!
your amateurs photos more way better than my proffessional photos
Laura! Thank you for being vulnerable with your early work. This video was super encouraging, because it shows that it’s possible to work and keep improving. And your willingness to be open just makes me respect you even more for being so relatable. As you say, Big Love!! 🥰
Lovely video @Laura so much fun aswell as teaching us thankyou x
When I look at my old photo's and slides, a question I ask myself, what could I have done to make the image better and even now it is a question I ask myself. There are images that I have taken in the past that I wouldn't change a thing.
I bless the day I came across your channel ma'am. You've been a source of encouragement because right now I'm frustrated sincerely. God bless you my model
Soooooo helpful. You are so much more than a photo expert; you are a life coach. Brava!
Laura i love you 😁. An honest photographer who keeps it funny & REAL. I don't know of any other who shows their early photos, they only show what they think is their better & say you to can do this. Yes you tell/show us how to & your photos are great, but we all come along on the journey with you, thanks again Kevin. ps i struggle with editing 🤣
Just because of your determination today you are here , now for you sky is the limit… 🙏
