Photography isn't a static activity. Not for me.
I'm constantly moving. Big movements to try a completely different angle. Small shifts- left, right, up, down- to get the bokeh where I want it, to line up the framing, to make it all come together.
And yet at every single workshop, I watch participants crouch down... and stop moving. They don't get up. They don't take three steps to the left to discover the background is actually better over there. Or worse. Or that the dog's face is suddenly visible, or that now it's looking into light instead of into a dark tree trunk.
The dog is moving too. It's dynamic, it's reacting to its handler, and you have to react to it. So the body angle isn't awkward. So you can see the face. So it's looking into space, not into a shadow.
Finding the angle isn't something that happens before you start shooting.
It's what shooting IS.

This is Nacho - one of our lovely, dynamic (!!) workshop models, and this photo was taken and edited live with participants.

Most people think composition is the rule of thirds.
A grid. A guideline. Something you vaguely remember from a photography class and then ignore 😅.
But composition is actually... everything. It's how comfortable your photo feels to look at. It's how your audience's eye moves through the image. It's the difference between a photo that feels like a fairytale and one that just feels "eh."
It decides what's important and what isn't. What you want people to feel, notice, understand. Whether your photo has depth and story, or whether it just documents what was there.

And yet it's almost never what people are googling when their photos aren't working. They're googling editing tutorials. Preset recommendations. How to get "that look".
Meanwhile composition is sitting there in the background... making or breaking every single shot.

Comment QUIZ and I'll send you a free two minute quiz that looks at a photo you've already taken and helps you figure out what's actually holding your photos back.

Most people try to get rich, deep greens by pushing the saturation slider. And then wonder why everything looks... uhhhh nuclear 😅

The secret is probably the opposite of what you’d expect.

Comment GREEN and I’ll tell you what I do instead.

Today is my 40th birthday. Somehow. My brother asked me a few days ago how old I was turning, saying: 'it must be nearly 40', then laughed when it was 40, then stopped laughing when he realised HE was nearly 40. Get rekt bro. Not that there's anything wrong with aging - I think society really has issues with women, in particular, aging... it's just... I don't feel like an adult.
Maybe none of us do.
I feel like I'm still figuring things out.
Like... I had my life "on track": job, husband, house...
And then went on this crazy adventure with my dog and took fifteen steps backwards in some ways. Unstable living situation (let's go permanent residence by the end of June so I don't need to worry about visas, PLEASE), renting again, and while my business is going, it hangs on the whims of people and the economy and trying to say: "I promise you, pet photography is something worthwhile - you should invest in learning it because beautiful photos of your pets are SUCH a gift...!" and hoping people will listen.

But let's see what the future holds. I'm hoping for my own little farm in the not-too-distant-future, maybe more in person workshops, and running lessons and workshops in German. I'm hoping for a new(ish) van so I can sleep out during winter without freezing to death, and maybe... maaaybbbeeee finally, my own little Journey puppy (big plans around this but let's see).
In the meantime, getting fit again, getting guidance to run and perform better in agility, trying to eat better and look after my health a little more, to continue being kind to myself when my brain doesn't want to cooperate, starting a new little project with my brother and Frey and getting excited about the potential there, if we can pull it off...

Or maybe I'll just... have a huge midlife crisis.
We'll see 😅

🍄 Among the mushrooms 🍄
Ugh I love taking photos of puppies. Even if they're a challenge! I love that with puppies you can grab moments, if you're quick enough. That you have to think creatively and be fast and prepared, otherwise you'll miss the shot. Although, I have to say, .shelties had already done an amazing job with Nori, and she posed and waited and worked suuuuuper hard during her shoot, so we could get photos like this 🤩

Photographing puppies came up so often as a question, that there's a lesson on it inside the Learning Journey 😅
And... this one was even a panorama, put together with about 6 shots or so? It's massive 😂

If you want to take better photos but aren't sure where to start, I have a free quiz to help you analyse what could be improved! Comment QUIZ to get the link!

I know a lot of my members in the Learning Journey struggle with imposter syndrome, or this feeling of their work not being good enough. I recently had a new member join, write her introduction, and say: "These are a few photos I like... there aren't many that I like", and then she proceeded to post some GORGEOUS photos underneath.
So let me tell you something - I've been sitting on this photo for a couple of weeks. Cos I don't love it. There's a lot I DO like about it. But it's one I'm not CERTAIN on. It's not one where I'm like: "HELL YEAH NAILED IT". I could point out a lot of things "wrong" with it. I'm certain a lot of my members who have ever watched my critiques could do. In fact, I'm pretty sure any "armchair photographer" could pick it apart, if they wanted to. And I'm not here fishing for compliments right now - don't rush to the comments and be like: "IT'S AMAZING". Like, I don't actually care, because my point is this-
There'll always be people who don't like what you do. Who can find flaws in it. There will likely always be photos where you're not certain about it for one reason or another.
Post them anyway.
Because they're a part of your story. Because they're a memory or a moment or a feeling you had at a place, at a time.
Post them anyway, because that says: "No, I actually AM good enough".

Post them anyway. Because even 6 years down the line and having taught hundreds of photographers, I still feel like an imposter at times. And NOT posting, isn't going to help me feel like less of one.

Before/After - using a little panorama magic to get rid of that weird wagon in the background, and make the bokeh a little more manageable, and to give my "always looks at the camera" dog space to look into when he suddenly, unexpectly, doesn't look at the camera, but I don't have time to move the focus point over!

Panoramas are one of my FAVOURITE techniques for sooo many reasons. If you're new in the Learning Journey, have you checked out the panorama lesson yet? Trust me, it's a game changer.

This is such a rare sight...
Loki...
Looking to the side!

Whenever he does this (and he will only do it with a helper who he has a connection with), I'm IMMEDIATELY taking like, 5000 photos because it's such a rare occurrence.
See, Loki is such a professional now. If he HEARS the shutter, he's looking at me. If I move, make a noise, or do anything, he's going to look at me. And yes, this is LOVELY, and yes, if I ask him what he thinks about ducks, I'll get the cutest head-tilts in existence...
But sometimes I just want something a bit different, you know? I want to do storytelling with Loki, too!
