I, who had not taken photography courses, who until now had only lived a passion and who had competitors more capable than me, could still do it.
Insecurity was my biggest enemy , hidden inside me, always waiting there.
He waited for the slightest dissenting opinion, the slightest difficulty, any excuse sufficient to feed my impostor syndrome .
I took courage, closed my heart to the possible consequences and started attending all the possible Fashion Weeks between France and Italy.
Without anyone asking me, without regrets, for a whole year.
Each event became an opportunity to meet new canada telegram data people who appreciated my photos.
So my strategy became just this…
Shoot and publish posts and stories on @anumphotography as soon as possible , tagging the subjects so they see my photos before anyone else and share them again.
Only in this way could I make myself known and aspire to live off this passion.
In the meantime, I insisted on finding some work as a photographer , something that would allow me to support myself in Paris without the help of my parents.
Even if it wasn't in the fashion industry, I didn't care. It was supposed to be just a temporary situation, in fact I never shared those shots online.
It was hard, of course, months passed, but something started to turn.
During the January 2022 Fashion Week I happened to take some shots of Chiara Ferragni .
Innocently, without expectations, considering her unattainable for me.
But she went beyond my pessimistic expectations and wrote to me.
She liked my photos, so she asked me if she could use them for her channels, with my name included.
