In a world buzzing with notifications, emails, and endless scrolling, I decided it was time to log off and where better to unplug than Bali? For three weeks, I put my phone on airplane mode, closed my laptop, and surrendered to the slower rhythms of island life. I allowed myself to checkin sporadically, as a freelancer you want to check you are not missing out on any important opportunities. My main concern was to stop the mindless doom-scrolling. It was time to appreciate dear friends, the ocean breezes, walks, mindful meals, and quiet moments with myself. If you’re feeling burned out or stuck on autopilot, a digital detox might be exactly what your mind and spirit need. Bali was the perfect backdrop for mine — healing, grounding, and alive with beauty. Bali is always a good idea.

As the chill of winter fades away and the world begins to blossom, there's something undeniably magical about springtime. It's a season of renewal, growth, and vibrant colours that breathe life into everything around us. For me, springtime always brings a fresh wave of creativity and inspiration. Whether it’s diving into new projects or revisiting old ones with fresh eyes, there’s something about the energy of the season that makes everything feel possible. This week I thought I would share a few iPhone pictures I have recently taken and then promptly forgotten to share.      A photography lesson with a glass of wine, a perfect Saturday afternoon. A few weeks ago my husband and I had a day off together. He had been asking me for a long time to go over the basics of his camera. He bought a Canon 5 D mark 4 body four years ago to shoot his feature film. Chris bought his camera second hand and some of the setting were slightly different and together we were able to reset these. It was a lovely day so we went for a walk and headed to Tooting Markets. The staff at Indie Wine Club were super friendly and helpful, I highly recommend! They ensure we picked the right wine for our palate and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. It was fun to shoot what I found visually interesting in the moment. Here are a few that caught my eye.          A sunny Sunday calls for lunch with friends as well as a long walk in the local park. I took my new camera with me and grabbed a few snaps. Spring is such a beautiful season and it was lovely to capture some of the recent changes in our neighbourhood. It did feel odd not to be able to review the images taken so I was very keen to get an idea of how accurate the view finder is and how the camera reacted to light. I am excited to use this camera on more shoots especially on my next portrait project. I love the analogue aesthetic and surprised at how well it works in low light. I am sure you will be seeing more images soon.     |
