On Soul Capturing

“Do I capture souls?”

When the first explorers carried cameras into the wilds, they weren’t light things.

Wooden boxes. Iron tripods. Heavy glass plates sloshing with strange chemicals.

It was like dragging an alchemist’s lab across mountains and rivers.

But the reward was irresistible… bringing back proof of lands and faces no one had seen before.

And yet, when they turned their lenses on the tribes they encountered all over the world (I tracked down specific accounts from North America, New Zealand, East Africa) the air grew tense.

The people refused to pose. They whispered of danger.

Because they believed the camera didn’t just take an image.

It stole something.

It captured their very soul.

Centuries later, I’ve begun to wonder if they were right.

Nearly five years, three continents, forty cities, and hundreds of shoots… and the words I hear again and again are:

“You didn’t just take my photo… you captured me. My vibe. My essence. My soul.”

Maybe I do.

And maybe that’s the point.

With my recent shift to Image Unchained, I’ve decided to own it. To embrace my role of soul-capturer.

So if you’re ready to be seen in a way you’ve never been seen before…

To show up online like you’ve stepped out of your own legend…

Like you’re the main character in your story…

To unlock doors in dating, business, social life, and beyond - then come find me.

I’m nearly full for September. October and November still have room… if you’re bold enough.
