Jeremy Current

I had the privilege to work with jeremy current yesterday on a wee idea I had brewing in my head for him. he’s releasing his new E.P “house on fire” which you can hear over here.
We began with the first half of the shoot up at our friends’ stables (second half to be shot soon). I brought my lighting equipment but the umbrellas scared the horse, so I ended up having to use a bare speedlight when the sun left us with little to work with. I thought that was going to be opposite to what I intended but God knows that when you ‘go with it’ things can be better than you imagine. Turns out the contrast of the bare light was exactly the right kind of light I would have needed for this to be as strong as I wanted.
The more I learn about art, the less I know. We talked about it on the way home, and it was good to know I’m not alone in this feeling, and that indeed it should be an exciting reality, not a fearful one. Every day the door is flung wide to learn something new and in the process create something beautiful. Even the mistakes and the things that didn’t even work all take us forward if we have the courage to try. I struggle with that, wether to try knowing I may fall flat on my face when there are so many other people I know that seem to be sailing along beautifully. But I am tired of that, it’s just crippling. I want to rejoice with my brother in his songs without fearing that I have nothing to say. I want to be free to revel in the beauty of my sister’s art without comparing it with my own.

Enough prattling from me,
Here’s a wee peek at what we got to make happen:
