Audaces fortuna iuvat: Fortune Favors the Bold

“Audaces fortuna iuvat”, a Latin phrase meaning: Fortune Favors the Bold.

Step out of your Comfort Zone. Since the days I formally studied the art of photography ; I always admired beautiful portraits and the use of artificial lighting to add depth to an image. Like many photographers and artists a like, being very shy when it comes to asking people to step in front of my lens, I always took the path of least resistance and photographed inanimate object; architecture, landscapes, etc.

This series of portraits did not incorporate an artificial light source, however I did step outside of my comfort zone. So, if there is something out there that has been calling at you from within, be bold, accept the challenge and overcome resistance. Resistance will always be there giving you all the irrational reasons why you shouldn’t and that is all the more reason why you should, accept the challenge and you will be rewarded.
