I have been trying to write a life changing email to a huge name musician. I won’t give away the details, but suffice to say if I can get him to notice my photos, then perhaps I am in with a chance to photograph him.

I am an enormous fan of his music, as well as him as a person. Of course I don’t actually know the real man behind the public figure, but his look is effortless, deep and solemn. In the photos I have seen of him, I truly believe I can do something different if given the opportunity.

But here’s the thing; he’s probably too big now to give this photographer the time of day; he must be inundated with people wanted to meet and photograph him, so it is crucial that I get this email/letter sharp and perfect. The biggest day of my career could be his voice on the end of a phone, inviting me to meet him and to photograph him. If that day comes, you my witness the happiest photographer alive…
