I believe in keeping busy; my mentality is somewhat of a shark. Not only going strong after your target, but, like a shark, always be moving. I believe that I’m a business, I explain to my clients, “If your business stays static you’ll die.”. Now you’ve just read all of that smooth-cool-bull-shit talk for me to simply say always be doing something. When you’re not shooting,  edit, when you’re not editing write/sketch/ think, when you’re sleeping dream of a photo shoot/ idea for your next photo shoot and when you take a break sit on a beach, with a Corona in hand and think about your next move!

I knew I’d be bored sitting in the airport this morning, so, I left this image to write about and share with you. Nothing to tech about how I photographed the image. Honestly it was nothing more than a fun/ good looking model (my cousin), an assistant, lucky timing and a golden reflector (I don’t use gold as much but it was time to try a different bounce) and a little editing in Photoshop to keep me from being bored on last vacation trip to the Bahamas. You’re probably saying, “bored in the Bahamas this guy must be crazy!” The thing is if I get to relaxed in the sand of these beautiful beaches, one I’ll much darker and two I’ll never want to leave again – I have to keep thinking about a next move!

All of my shoots, no matter the size, I want my clients to feel comfortable and I want them to leave thinking, “Damn we had an awesome time with Photographer Dwayne Tucker it’s a must we do that again!”

I called my cousin up, got my mother’s neighbor to assist me, went to a house, had plans of going on top of the roof and plans to start shooting at time x. Shooting started one hour after time x because it took us that long to get the assistant on the roof. It was my fault to assume and not be certain that  everyone was not afraid of heights! If you are going to an extreme place double check the aforementioned situations. For example I’m headed over to Fresh Creek Andros in 20mins and my assistant who’s with me is afraid of sharks; it’s cool because along with some smooth-cool-bull-shit talk I was able to get the last assistant on the roof.

It’s all about professional work, positive attitudes and great times.
