There is beauty everywhere. I’ve been making a conscious effort this year to keep a camera on me all the time. My phone is great, but it’s not quite the same. I take plenty of photos on my phone and never really do anything with them (don’t we all!), so having a little point and shoot film camera with me brings a little more consciousness to whatever has caught my eye. There were some standout themes; light (obviously!) and flowers. I bang on about light all the time, so this comes as no real surprise.
It’s turning into a great little project. One that feels good for brain, and gives me great happiness when I get the scans back. I can hardly ever remember what I’ve taken photographs of, so it’s good to look back and remember a certain day, time, or flowerbush! I guess that’s why I love photography so much, it transports you back to a certain time in your life. This applies to the portrait work I do too. I’ve had a number of clients book sessions with me just to document that particular time in their life. What an honour to be about to do that for someone. I love the thought of a family looking through old photographs of their loved ones, and there’s some portraits I’ve taken in amongst them. Obviously this requires printing photos, which you all do of course… I romantically tell myself yes. That subject is a whole other rambling blog post, I’ll save that for a later date.
Look out for me if you have a spectacular garden/flower bush, if I walk past then I’m highly likely to document it. If you want some portrait of you proudly standing next to it/in it, I am very willing to do that for you so just ask :). For any photography questions, please get in touch HERE
First few images were taken with Lomochrome Purple, you can find that HERE , it’s all kinds of magic.
