Inspiration

Finding new things to take pictures of is sometimes difficult. Every now and again I feel like I’ve run out of ideas. Sometimes I also don’t want my pictures to look too similar to ones I’ve alreayd taken, so I use Pinterest for ideas.

I make Pinterest boards for all different things that I like: Fall photos I think are awesome, I just started making one for winter to get ideas for things I can take pictures of, outfit inspiration and posing ideas when I’m having my picture taken or am taking someone else’s, one for just images that are aesthetically pleasing. The best part about Pinterest is that most of the images are artsy and helpful inspiration, rather than just looking on google which is never much help to me. I also find very similar style imaged on my Instagram feed that help with inspiration as well. When I say inspiration I don’t mean copying or taking  images that look exactly the same. But rather seeing how they laid out their images, what they took pictures of, the way the pictures are edited…etc. I might be interested in drawing something in my bullet journal and taking a picture of that in some way because of a drawing I saved to my Pinterest boards. Mostly keep those inspiration images in the back of your mind when you are out looking for things to take photos of, what angles did they use? Or when you are looking for props to include in the pictures, where do they like to purchase things? Or how could I use a candycane like that in one of my pictures cuz theirs looks so cute!
