Absolutely in Awe of this shoot with .longbottom__ 😍
The last year I have sadly neglected my creativity with putting all my energy and time into my 9-5 or should I say 12-8. Working retail while trying to be creative, while also having chronic health issues is truly a challenge! I’ve had to really reassess my priorities as of late and as much as I love my job, I’ve realised it’s taking a lot from me as far as time and energy. I’m trying to currently make life adjustments to be able to shoot again more and have a realistic editing time frame! End of last year I did a lot of shoots which I’m so proud I did in such a short time but finishing off my masters which included writing a 20+ page document, while working, while also having health flairs and life stuff I fell so behind in edits and that caused a lot of guilt on my end of feeling like a terrible artist. The reality was with everything boundaries at work, with myself, with collaborators are so important. Thankfully the artists, friends and family I have had the honour of working with have been so patient but it’s not a habit I’m wanting to keep I want to be able to get my edits done within weeks of shooting but it means I need to adjust my time and priorities!
On that note!! I’m getting creative again! What would you like to see from me?
