Live Life like It Has No Limits
/ Marianne Daplin(Australia)
Message from the photographer
We stop living life to the fullest once we set limits to ourselves. This is what I learned while hanging out with Princess. Why should we limit ourselves to one or two things when we can do more? Princess shows great determination and perseverance in everything she does. More importantly, she sets no limits to herself, which enables her to have as much fun as she can. She shows different kinds of expressions. One minute she is serious and then she has this biggest grin the next. Therefore, I must always bring my camera to capture her every interesting facial expressions. Just like her, we can have various great experiences. We can dance under the rain, laugh as loud as we can and sing like nobody is listeing. We have the right to do whatever we want as long as we don't harm anyone or break any rules.
About the subject
Princess is one of my good friends and we are interested in similar things such as anime, dance and Asian dramas. She has a really bubbly personality. Not only that, I also think she can be a great inspiration to others. This is why I chose her to be the subject of my photos.
