A couple of days ago, someone said something to me that made me uncomfortable. They told me that I would never be a photographer if I didn't study at an internationally renowned school. That I had to improve before uploading content because it could be full of mistakes.
That didn't make me hang my head. I'm not ashamed to upload my content, even if it has mistakes. I'm a beginner, and I'm improving my content day by day. What's the point of keeping my content to myself until it's perfect? I want to show that you can start from scratch, improve, and perfect yourself in life.
A photographer is not born overnight. They are formed by preparing themselves, walking the world with their camera in hand, capturing what they see around them, transmitting and perfecting their technique day after day until one day, after so much preparation, a new Ansel Adams is born. Technique and practice are what make the master.
I'm not ashamed to say that I'm a beginner, that my work has flaws, and that I still don't know how to handle light. But everything comes little by little, with dedication, passion, love, and lots and lots of practice. I know I'm going to succeed, because my love for photography isn't something new; it's been with me my whole life. Dreams become goals, and my goal is to succeed and for my photography to fill people's souls, and nothing is going to stop me. Negative opinions give me more strength to continue, so thanks to those opinions, I am more determined than ever.
Here is a little more from the session with the copper-haired mermaid.

Soy principiante, 驴y qu茅?
Hace par de d铆as me dijeron algo que me incomod贸. Alguien me dijo que para nunca iba a ser fot贸grafa si no estudiaba en una escuela de renombre internacional. Que ten铆a que mejorar antes de subir contenido porque pod铆an estar llenos de errores.
Eso no me hizo agachar la cabeza, no me da verg眉enza subir mi contenido as铆 sea con errores por s铆, soy principiante y mi contenido lo voy mejorando d铆a tras d铆a, qu茅 valor tiene s铆 me guardo mi contenido hasta que sea perfecto y no demuestro que se puede empezar de cero, se puede mejorar y se puede perfeccionar en la vida.
Un fot贸grafo no nace de un d铆a para otro, se forma prepar谩ndose, caminando por el mundo con su c谩mara en su mano, capturando lo que ve a su alrededor, transmitiendo y perfeccionando su t茅cnica d铆a tras d铆as hasta que un d铆a despu茅s de tanta preparaci贸n nace un nuevo Ansel Adams. La t茅cnica y la pr谩ctica son las que hacen al maestro.
No me averg眉enza decir que soy principiante, que mi trabajo tiene errores y que a煤n no manejo la luz. Pero todo es poco a poco, con dedicaci贸n, pasi贸n, amor y mucha, mucha pr谩ctica, s茅 que lo voy a lograr, porque mi amor por la fotograf铆a no es de hoy, es de toda la vida. Y los sue帽os se vuelven metas y mi meta es triunfar y que mi fotograf铆a llene el alma de las personas y nada me va a detener. Las malas opiniones me dan m谩s fuerza para seguir, as铆 que gracias a esas opiniones tengo m谩s ganas que nunca.
Aqu铆 les traigo un poquito m谩s de la sesi贸n con la sirena de cabello cobrizo.
