HOW TO FIT PHOTOGRAPHY INTO YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE
Mid way through my podcast interview with Wesley Verhoeve
It’s nearly the end of January which means we are almost through the first month of 2025 and I’m wondering where you’re at with your creative goals or intentions?
This episode is a quick check in to remind you that it’s not all lost and gone if you didn’t start the year off the way you had hoped. I’m offering a very easy and accessible exercise for you to follow along with or come back to when you have time. This exercise will help you find more time for your photography in a natural and organic way.
Practicing street photography on my family. I’ve been embracing digital lately for a more casual and less expensive way to get more photography into my everyday life.
For further guidance on this topic I love listening to the Start Up Creative podcast hosted by fellow Aussie Kaylene Langford.
Not my usual choice of subject but I couldn’t pass up photographing the reds on the Ferrari we stumbled on in a pretty random spot out on a date night.
I also shared this substack issue back on the 1st of January and it might be worth going back to it to refresh on how best to set goals.
This substack on the power of consistency is also a handy one to read to realign for the new year and make it your best year creatively!
As always let me know your thoughts and stay creative.
