Turning a passion into profession can lead people to overcome borders, cultural differences, own limitations and much more. Or simply lead to truly being oneself. This project shows people – artists, musicians, scientists, etc. – who are pursuing the passions that drive and fulfill them and make them achieve excellence.
In our rushing society it is all too common to loose sight of what is really important to us intellectually. Yet some people just follow their interests. And by their creative process they go beyond their limits and they affect others in an inspiring way. What makes you itch? How would you really enjoy spending your live?
“The only way to become a master
of something is to be really with it.” Alan Watts
By photographing and interviewing scientists, artists, musicians and others while talking about their passion or practicing their profession, Bree Corn gives insight into the thoughts & energy of these people.
