What is being your own boss? Even if you don't have the chance to be that for yourself right now, you can still take on the role in the way you lead your creative pursuits without anyone else telling you to do it first. Play the role and it will become natural. Part of being an #AdobeCreativeResident is my ability to be my own boss, to realize my own path and make my goals happen. Start today.

One of the most rewarding parts about photographing strangers are the unintentional lessons that come along with it🤔📸 - I met Larry at #WashingtonSquarePark☀️ and right away I could see the joy that feeding birds meant to him. He was consumed in the moment✨. When I asked him for his name he stood tall and proudly pointed at his jacket "I Am Larry The Bird Man" 🕶️ 🐦. - In a big city like NYC🍎 where everyone walks right past hundreds of humans Larry was taking the time to be compassionate over the most ignored little animal. His confidence and pride also taught me to be confident in my own right, no matter my title, stand up tall and claim it. ✊💫 - #VisuaLanguageMindset #wethepeoplsseries #adoberesidency #adobecreativeresidency

3 WAYS TO CAPTURE MOMENTS 1️⃣ Look for odd numbers - subjects in groups of threes 🦸🦹🕺 are visually more compelling then even numbers. - 2️⃣ Create breathing 🌬️ room in your scene by placing your subject to the right or left. - 3️⃣ Look for action! Freezing time ⏱️ is something our eye can't see on its own so presenting it in your photography will always create intrigue. #VisuaLanguageMindset #adoberesidency #adobecreativeresidency

Q&A🤔 Building and sustaining momentum on #SocialMedia is tricky business that's for sure. I have one hack up my sleeve that works every time I need a boost of attention on my feed. You ready?... ⚡Creative Karma⚡ By definition (my own that is😜) Creative Karma is when you do what you wish others did for you. You want likes on your creative work? LIKE others creative work. Want comments? Go comment... This works because of the obvious spiritual Karma but also because the @instagramforbusiness algorithm will begin to build a link between you and the creatives you engage with. It even shares your work with their creative audiences. Crazy right!🤯 - #VisuaLanguageMindset #adoberesidency #adobecreativeresidency 🧠Curious question by: @_fluxus

Q&A Lately I've been receiving questions via my website💻. It's so neat to hear from you! Here's one that reminded me that even when we are in search of specific themes for our work, it's also important to remember that exploration of our style 🔮 is a natural process of creativity. #VisuaLanguageMindset #adoberesidency #adobecreativeresidency

Whoever said you can't do it all on your phone?!📲 I shot these images this morning on my #googlepixel3 and brought them into @lightroom mobile app to apply my preset filters, which I had created and saved earlier. DONE! Just like that, in no time, I had a sweet photo taken in real-time and edited in my style 📸. ✨🔮 Magic. #adoberesidency #adobecreativeresidency #visuallanguagepractice #foundride #teampixel
