magic worlds


For the last few days I've been photographing my studio for an upcoming issue of Where Women Create. While the magazine would have sent someone to shoot my space, I thought it might be fun to do it all myself. It had been a while since I'd shot interiors but I used to do a lot of photo work... that said, I was surprised how out of practice I'd become. I was starting to feel really frustrated and I began questioning if any of the images I was making would even be interesting to anyone when I came across this photograph from Fine Little Day. I could go on and on about why I think it's such a great photograph, but the most important thing is that it simply renewed my excitement and got me back to shooting. There is nothing quite as exciting as being offered a true glimpse into someones studio/world. None of my photographs are going to be even close to this good but I'm trying to enjoy this whole process and give in to the outcome.
