I had a to do list for this week, which were some admin, tweaking my website and working on my own biz marketing. Instead, I completed this painting.

It's been giving me some heartaches for a while, waiting there untouched, abandoned. Guilt tripping me. So I decided that's it, it's time, and here we go.

We were talking to another creative today, about how actually physically and mentally demanding and draining a creative process is. It's not all butterflies and flowers you know, not a hobby to relax, not an escapism like most think.

So next time, when you encounter an artwork done by a person: a painting, a poem, a song, a book... it's hard work! It's blood and soul, pain and life. It's not lazy. And it's not for the faint hearted.

Rant over. Of course most didn't bother reading that far. They can keep busy with more AI crap.

Last week I photographed and filmed the Ocular Public Safety Leadership Forum at Co-op Live in Manchester. Ocular brought together industry experts and created a space for valuable discussions on public safety, responsibilities, gaps between systems, risks and more focusing on how to create safer spaces for everyone.
Delivering short films is now another option you get besides my photography and PR work with SPR Strategic + Senem Peace Photography

2 days in London for a photoshoot, now back home knackered, but photo edits can't wait.
At least I don't need to travel +3 hours for next weeks photoshoots.
And this time, I didn't forget to get a selfie 😆

When you haven't painted for a while, and it shows on your latest photoshoots.

I guess canvases are calling me! 🎨

Over the last few months, I've been quietly working on a slightly different field, with my very first clients. It is different, but not an unfamiliar territory for me.

Photography taught me to see, journalism and academic research taught me to ask the question, art taught me to explore beyond the obvious. All taught me to look deeper than the surface: Finding the story, finding the human, exploring the real dynamics and understanding how they are perceived.

I now brought these skills together, and working more deliberetely on how organisations, businesses and brands communicate and are perceived. With my focus is on strategic PR and brand content, photography is still remaining an important part of the work, where it genuinely adds value. In the end, the best combo to shape a stronger presence is aligning narrative, positioning, visuals and ideas together.

I don't feel like I started something new though. It's more like bringing things together at last, and it's another pleasure to be back on writing as well.

Apparently, all those open tabs in my head were useful after all. SPR Strategic is officially part of my work (quietly, it's been since June). With SPR Strategic, I bring together strategic PR, brand content, creative ideas and photography to help organisations communicate with more clarity, and be....

5 years on, it's been great to photograph Liam Hand again. It always feels amazing to see how my clients work and presence have grown over time.

Transformational coach and hypnotherapist Liam works with individuals as well as corporations as a corporate wellbeing consultant. He definitely has a unique approach to therapy and coaching.

If you know of anyone looking for support around wellbeing, personal transformation or creating healthier workplaces, Liam is definitely someone worth knowing.

This is Rosie McInerney, the founder of Third App. If you haven't heard about Third, it is an app designed for women, allowing them to document incidents, behaviours and patterns of abuse or harassment, before they're ready to tell anyone else.

On many situations it is said to be months or even years of incidents occurs prior to a women feel safe enough to reporting it. And when that moment comes, they're often being asked to recall dates, conversations, incidents that goes back in time. Third, gives women a private place to start keeping a record before they're ready to report it. If they are not sure what they are experiencing, these records also help showing the patterns, and recognising early signs of abuse and harassment. It is totally free and can be downloaded in the App and Play store.

We met Rosie earlier this year at Women in Security Network (UK) and I took this quick headshot amongst other speakers in one of their events.

Why the grass is perceived to be greener somewhere else? Is it because of being conditioned to feel not enough, not worthy by default? I am writing these in behalf of beautiful British outdoors and landscapes.

Whenever I see someone comparing a stunning scene from UK and sharing it as “This is not Canada - this is UK, or this is not Caribbeans - this is UK etc. all I think is... why? Yes, I see, they are trying to highlight the beauty of UK, but why deminish it by unnecessary comparisons in a wild competition?

Have you ever seen a place in Italy been presented as “this is not (…) - this is Italy” or a place in Switzerland, France, Norway... presented the same way?
I haven’t.

Let’s accept the reality that there are stunning and unique places all across UK. And they are in abundance! No need to act like an impostor, and no need for unnecessary comparisons.
