Hello everyone. As you’re aware, I’ve been relatively quiet with my photography and less active on social media over the past two years or so.
This is largely due to the death of my mum affecting and changing me in a profound way, but I have also realised and accepted that I no longer have the motivation or passion for it anymore.
I have tried my best to work through grief, anxiety, and general day-to-day life. It has given me a chance to self-reflect about what I would like to change and improve about myself and my overall wellbeing.
After receiving some valuable advice during my counseling sessions, I have made the decision to take a long break from both photography and social media.
In recent years, I have found social media a very anxiety-triggering place for me, and since my mum’s passing, I have realised that for many years I've had a digital addiction, and I am sure like many others, I spend way too much time on my phone.
Being a generally insecure person and mixing that with spells of a low mood and the bells and whistles of social media is not a healthy mix for me and something which I have identified about myself that I do not like. I have worked really hard to improve this and I have taken some very proactive steps over the last couple of years to help understand and change. if anyone would like any further information on the help I have used feel free to send an email!
I just want to take time to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported my photography and been a good friend. I am very grateful ☺️
There are some absolutely ace photography accounts out there so please give them a follow and support their work. These have all inspired me and they all work so hard.
