“The most powerful images you’ll ever create won’t come from pressing the shutter. They’ll come from learning how to see — clearly, intentionally, and fully.”
______

In this episode of Moments of Mood, I share the story of a photography workshop (back in the day) that quietly reshaped everything for me — not just as a photographer, but as an artist and human. What started as a curious endeavour turned into a complete shift in how I see light, connect with people, and approach the creative process.

In this episode, I cover:

• The exact moment I learned how to shape light with feeling, not just exposure
• Why I stopped picking up the camera before earning trust
• The silent power of presence — and how it transforms your photos
• The truth about creative ego and photographing with respect
• 5 practical tips to become more intentional with your craft
• Why slowing down has made my work feel more alive

Happy Shooting,
