I don't describe myself as an artist, because I only rarely have conceptual visions I need to express. Instead, I consider myself a camera technician. I know the buttons, I can work the details. I leave the art to real artists.
So when I had the idea for the Pantheon Project, I was filled with doubt. A concept? A goal? What is this madness, is it a good idea?
I typed up the concept, and sought a second opinion from someone who I knew could be objective - because she said she'd never do a nude shoot.
She signed up immediately.
So I suspected the idea might be good.
I work with the most incredible people. They train often, they train hard. They are inspirational as hell.
That they signed on to the project was a little bit humbling, sobering, and intimidating.
My concept, my flash of artistic idea, started to become a big project, and I had to do right by these amazing people who trusted me with their bodies, the results of so much hard work.
The experience was new to most of them, and I don't really think we live in a society that makes it easy to be part of a nude photoshoot.
They pushed through their doubts and past their demons to be part of this project, and I could not be more grateful.
I am immensely proud of what we've created here, and I hope the results make them proud too.
Because they're amazing and all I did was push the button.
