Dear Reader, I haven’t really introduced myself and I feel I should. My biography section is more of a professional blurb; this post is intended to share a little more about the person behind this blog, what her goal is, and what’s in it for you.
So who am I?
I am a twenty-something year old who lives on a tiny, beautiful island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea — Malta. I’m writing this piece in my car right next to a sandy beach; it’s dark, there is a fresh sea breeze caressing my skin and the sound of the waves is making my inner self purr. It’s thanks to this gorgeous setting that I got all inspired to write this piece.
In my life so far, I’ve always been moved by the arts (whatever the medium) as I simply love the way human beings can create things to express something. When I was once interviewed for a magazine and asked what inspired my photography, I didn’t quite know what to point at… all I could think of was ‘everything’.
I have been working as a content marketing professional for other businesses for over five years, I have also been doing photography on the side since I turned eighteen, and I love to inspire and meet people. See the dots connecting?
Which brings us to this blog
I didn’t just want a regular photography portfolio site — I want to share more for other creative beings. I added a blog section to combine the two things I love: photography and writing. I intend to fill this blog with:
- Photography tutorials — from my first-hand experience
- Inspiration-filled articles — sharing anything that’s helped me get my creative juices flowing
- Travel experiences — I LOVE travelling and travel photography
- Interviews — I plan to interview and photograph as many creative people as I can to share their experiences with us!
Today, for the first time, I decided to drive off with no destination in mind. I kept driving until I found my spot — in front of the sea. No soul to be seen. Pitch dark. The only sound was that of the waves and a lonely cricket. I could feel a nice fresh breeze. My mind was at peace. I felt so inspired that I went to my car and just wrote this piece. I think every creative soul out there should do this. Often.
Am I the only one who seeks inspiration this way? What do you do when you want to escape from routine and connect with yourself?
