This challenge was a huge learning experience for me. There are a lot of personal firsts in this image. Having no client breathing down my neck allowed me to experiment, but it also meant that it made me take longer to get the image done. That’s something that I would do differently if I were to redo the project: I would have given myself a bit of a stricter timeline. One of the main problems I faced in the beginning was the fact that I got bogged down on the corten material for the two first days. After getting bogged down for a while, I decided to work on the project as I would if I were constantly showing it to a client for progress updates. Instead of starting from the details, I tried to finish the scene overall little by little. By the time I was almost done and it was time for me to get back to the corten I was refreshed and I knew exactly what I needed to do to get it done.

I want to thank the people at Tomorrow and Ronen for putting up this challenge! I imagine this challenge is quite a risk for you guys at Tomorrow (what if no contestant is good enough?). So I applaud you for taking that risk. I hope you find the right people to join your team. To join Tomorrow in Sweden would be a dream-come-true to me and a challenge I’m eager to take.

Thanks again!
