Putting Story into Your Images

This is something that I believe all photographers will benefit from integrating into their list of challenges. Submissions to magazines, for example, require some kind of loose story, even if it's just a consistent visual theme with a vague hint of something else, some story - as opposed to singular, different and model-type posed shots.

FLOORED

Today's pinned post is this one from Amsterdam in 2019. I look back on these images and still love them. This was when we first moved from Australia to Europe and stayed at our friend's place in Amsterdam for some time before going to Poland.

It was a wild time for sure, many all nighters. This set was shot at about 6am and the light in Jonnie and Sofie's apartment was some...

Diary Entry 3 - Singapore

The third diary entry documenting our travels and move from Australia to Europe.

Sonya

Was great have Sonya visit for a while at our place in the mountains. I shot her alone and also together with Aurora Sprengel (@poeticminx). The light this particular afternoon was amazing - there was a magic half hour and I frantically got the shots during that time, backlit situations and front on lighting also.

I use this p[articular location quite often for a variety of reasons. More ...
