I'm usually the kind of person who quietly sits at home and doesn't bother going out or chatting much to people, as you'd expect I suppose from a social anxiety sufferer, but I'm also a bit of a 'yes' person, if someone does invite me out or offers to meet up I'll agree... My photography has taken this to a whole new level, from the rare invite into the open world to getting requests for weddings, portraits, pets, gigs, photography trips and now I've been asked to shoot a house for someone who works at an estate agents! I've got atleast 3 weddings to photograph this year and have done 3 already with another unconfirmed request and some portraits still to do. This has taken a huge leap of suddenly needing to communicate effectively and consistently with others, this is happening quite fast but I'm going to roll with it for now as it seems to be doing me some good! The requests must die down at some point though, I don't even advertise!!!
