Sometimes you have to create something just for yourself. 🌸
When creativity is part of your job, it’s easy for the daily grind to slowly quiet the very thing that made you love creating in the first place.
Clients. Deadlines. Emails. Editing. Marketing. Running a business.
Every once in a while, I need to put all of that aside and create with no assignment, no client brief, and no expectations.
Just play.
I photographed this simple zinnia and kept wondering: what else could this become?
I gave myself permission to explore. I played with color, texture, light, and mood. One photograph became several very different interpretations, including Grace in Bloom and Golden Blush.
Somewhere in the process, something shifted in me, too.
That’s what creating for myself does. It sparks my joy. It stretches me creatively. It reminds me why I picked up a camera in the first place.
Swipe through to see where my imagination took it, and the photograph that started it all.
Now I want to know: Which one would you hang on your wall?
If you know someone whose creative spark could use a little oxygen, share this with them. 💗
