In 2021 I challenged myself to a selfie-a-day experiment. It was hard: for 30 days I forced myself to do selfies. Most ppl would have given up after a week.

Turns out, that German guy who looks like Mark Twain was right, “it’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer”.

After throwing 98% of the pics, the photos naturally spawned looking amazing. No dead poses, no yawn angles, no tired props.

Soon, friends started asking me to snap their photos. A Romanian magazine that no longer exists hired me. A Monaco heiress invited to document her yacht. Rumor had it a Saudi prince has one of my shots framed in his desert palace.

I shoot a few times a year via referrals. I like ppl whose stories one day might sound like a legend. Refer.
