When it comes to taking photos of people I much pr When it comes to taking photos of people I much prefer candid shots. It can be difficult to catch that perfect split second but fading into the hustle and bustle if activities means I don’t have to direct. Posed portraiture on the other hand can feel so awkward for me because I still want things to look natural. Though this one of @charkbitme for @staybookishzine did turn out well, I think 😌 Reminding myself of this, that I am capable; I just need to practice more and work up the courage to ask others to pose for me. . . . . . #readingnook #theworldofportraits #portraitsmood #seasonspoetry #simpleandstill #booksaremagic #folkandstory #minimalisthome #cozyvibes #hyggetime #storyofmyhome #smallmomentsofcalm #theeverydayportrait #artofslowliving #ofsimplethings #hyggebookstyle #nestandflourish

I’ve come to rely so much on travelling for inspiration, neglecting the here and now. For 2021, I want to change that, starting with a blog post on madeofmint.net (link in bio) to recalibrate my approach to creativity and photography ✨ I’d love to hear your thoughts either here or on my blog 💛 How are you taking ownership of your creativity this year?

When I need to think and recharge, I tend to retre When I need to think and recharge, I tend to retreat where there’s nature and where I can be alone. And so I thought, I’d be content exploring beaches, pondering the stars, meandering through vineyards. In that regard, I was right but I never expected encounters with people to bring the restoration that I sought. Yet, that’s precisely what Adelaide’s been like for me the past couple of weeks, and I am immensely thankful for that. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #athomeintheworld #bythebeach #seacliffbeach #fisherboat #discoveraustralia #southaustralia #gowildandslow #holdyourmoments #beautyyouseek #ourwhimsicaldays #moodcollectors #brimfulofcurious #beautyaroundus #stillswithstories #wanderingsoul #wondersofnature #appreciatethebeauty #d750 #myhappyviews #chasingwonders #rememberingthesedays
