Photography is that mixture of artistry and technical skills. One or the other may come more naturally to every photographer but it’s still that combination that comes together to let the artist create.
During this time of the year, right before the busy holidays it can feel like life is going at 100mph. I haven’t had a chance to work on the personal work that fills me with inspiration, but no matter how busy I am I can always take time to stop, look around and see so many inspiring sites and scenes all around me.
Sometimes it’s the lovely angles of a face on a plane, or the colors of a brilliant sunset, or a fabric that catches my eye. All I have to do is take a minute to take a look around and there’s something there, it might be something small but that’s all it takes to spark an idea. I hope it means that I’m fortunate I have a mind full of ideas just waiting for me to find the time to try to bring them to life.
Some are stuck in the ponder stage, I know what direction I want to go in, but I’m not quite sure how to get there. Some are in the rough draft stage, I’ve already gotten started and now I get to decide where to go next to move my ideas along. Maybe it’s something in the next stages a working project just waiting to be finished.
What inspires you? What are you working on now with that inspiration?
Stay inspired and I can’t wait to share where my inspiration is leading me with you.
