Maxine Mayer for something new?

Bare with me as I fear I am repeating myself...maybe worse than fear, but know.

I've been very resistant to fantasy style photography even though most of my work I believe already has that feeling its just missing an element to transform it. I think that's largely because to actually do it well requires a fairly substantial investment when it comes to money, and investing any money into art beyond that which is required is difficult to justify.

My job has almost always been feast or famine. Going way back to waiting 3 months for quarterly checks to zivity, and continuing to this day. The reality is despite my best efforts I do well when I accidentally stumble upon some sort of virality online, and then I simply must ride that wave until it fizzles out, or dashes upon the rocks.

But I think I am about to start taking more risks, and seeing what happens. Maybe this will be a little limited run series, maybe this will be long and ongoing. Maybe my work will be entirely transformed from here going forward.

I have a lot to figure out. This shoot with Maxine was actually one of the turning points. Oh I can do this and it can just be beautiful, simple, and still impactful without becoming too silly.
