03/05/2026 - Self-Portrait shoot
Been needing headshots for the longest so I just did them myself. Did some more playing around with magazine style photos and fonts. Tried out some posing and new tools in Affinity.
Slowly finding my bag. Small small
Didn't really have buzzwords or a vision for this shoot. Fit was ard and I couldn't let it go to waste
Shot with Sony ZV1 mk II
Part 14 - Take Breaks if You Need To
As a creative, taking breaks can be difficult. It comes with guilt and shame around lack of productivity, and a fear of losing momentum after being consistent for a while.
But it's still important to take time off and breathe.
Creative ideas are like a flowing river. Left unmanaged, they cause a flood of burnout and overwork. You need to be able to step back, reflect, assess, and rest. This is what gives you the energy to get back in and create again.
