Somehow another opportunity has managed to precisely place itself right in my lap, this time it's being an official photographer at the We Day event in the MTS Center.
We Day is youth empowerment event featuring speakers such as Chris Hadfield, Paula Abdul, and Nico & Vinz. All names that need no introduction and if you are unfamiliar with any, a quick Google search will answer any question. This will be a great event to prove my talents in a real world situation and build my photography portfolio which will help me to find more paying work within the industry. The only problem is I don't have the most expensive gear and will most likely get looked down upon and probably chirped by the other photographers. However, is it really reasonable for a seventeen year old to have ten thousand dollars worth of camera gear, even the three thousand I'll be carrying around seems like a lot for my age. I truly believe that it's what is in front of your lens that matters the most, which means the difference between a good and great photographer is creativity. Telling an entire story through a single image in the most engaging and captivating way possible. A story that motivates you or makes you feel some sort of emotion, which is what I'm planning to do at We Day.
