Following my own advice (“you need to post pictures of yourself as a business person”) I`m posting something about me, a photographer in East London

How the limitations of time can be a gift and how photography can help us to be friends with time.

Photographs are kind of proof of connection and as such do make us feel closer as friends.

Is your job something that you would have as a hobby, too? Would you still do it if you just won a million in the lottery?

Have you ever been out and wondered how to take a picture with yourself in the scene? How to tell the story of your moment, but without taking a typical selfie?

How are you with pleasure and enjoyment? This week, I wrote an editorial for a magazine about this and while writing, I noticed two big issues I have: Firstly, I often postpone enjoyment because of “being busy”. And secondly: when I am doing stuff that isn`t “useful”, but “only” enjoyable, I feel guilty thinking I should be productive.

How come people like some pictures and then there are other pictures that they don`t like? And I mean regardless of the quality of the photograph.

One thing I`ve seen confirmed this week: Detail shots of clothes or shoes are not pointless at all. Someday these photographs might help to let stuff go easily.

Despite having quite a lot of clothes, half the time I`m thinking “I don`t have anything to wear”. Sounds familiar? So why not joining me in applying this fashion shopping guide?

On British TV, Channel 4 is airing a “documentary” about Missguided, a fast-fashion giant. They`re staging a glamorous fashion world and hiding the fact that Missguided is contributing to the exploitation of low-paid workers and pollution. They`re not showing the full picture at all.

Time is a tricky thing. It`s my birthday this weekend, reminding me of how fast time goes by. I feel like I cannot keep up at all. On the other hand, time brings some good stuff like progress, growth, and knowledge.

“Forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you`re inspired or not.” (Octavia E.Butler in “Bloodchild and Other Stories”)

Overthinking is very inconvenient in photography, especially photojournalism. Life is changing in seconds. If you think instead of just pressing the shutter, you will usually miss the “decisive moment”.

•°☆▪ᗩᖴTᗴᖇ Tᕼᗴ ᑎᗴᗯՏ TᕼIՏ ᗯᗴᗴK – Boycott Boohoo -, I ᖴOᑌᑎᗪ IT ᗩ ᘜOOᗪ Iᗪᗴᗩ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ sᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ɪssᴜᴇ ᴏғ Fᴀsᴛ Fᴀsʜɪᴏɴ Aɴᴅ ᴍᴏᴅᴇʀɴ Sʟᴀᴠᴇʀʏ ᴏɴ ᴍʏ ʙʟᴏɢ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ. We all cast our vote with our purse so it’s good to stay informed what we are voting for.

Focusing on the ordinary might help with being grateful for basic things. Like breathing or a warm shower or breakfast. I tend to wish for more like a holiday at the seaside.

It`s often the pictures of the ordinary that I`m most happy about. Of course, there are shitloads of holiday pictures and I love them, too. But the most precious photos are those of everyday stuff.

Not giving up despite setbacks and rejection is so important for success of any kind, especially when trying to make it as a freelancer. “When disappointed get reappointed” says the famous American preacher Joyce Meyer.

I think it’s very important to develop and stand by our personal style& vision in photography rather than trying to imitate someone elses or to please other peoples’ taste (like in all life).

“I love a good mirror selfie…I can blur a bit, I can hide a bit, yet I still have evidence of myself in that very moment.”

Even if I have never seen the photograph itself: if I have taken a picture, an event is much more likely to stay in my memory.

‘Commonwealth’ by Ann Patchett
