still learning how to let myself be seen without needing the moment to be perfect first.
i’m constantly floating between anxiety, imposter syndrome and the millions of unfinished ideas. yet the passion to create still burns …
im forever in conversation with myself lol
i tend to “overthink” they say, although i disagree —i think it’d be better if i start thinking outloud instead.
maybe this is me practicing…

“Marni Purse” Outtakes Part 2 by Qi 💋
🎞️ Kodak Ektar 100
• (1-2) Some of my favorites I’ve ever taken but when i first got this film back i cried — only later did i realize the beauty within the moodiness of the underexposed images. (3-7)
Backstory : we shot for this cover twice. this was from the 1st try. The studio was too small to get perspective we wanted and there was only one light source Silly of me to risk using a film i never used before and it be 100 speed at that !! These photos are the product my amaturity. but yet again a beautiful mistake that i am now proud of.

my camera was dying on set this day. the last photo was actually an accidental double exposure because the shutter was getting stuck and it’s soooo fire to me. i love it sm. crazy how beautiful accidents can be.
