The image depicts a scenic view from inside a cozy cabin or mountain lodge. Through the large windows, we can see breathtaking snow-capped mountain peaks in the distance, bathed in a warm, golden light. The mountains are partially obscured by clouds or mist, adding to the atmospheric and serene ambiance. In the foreground, a person in casual clothing is standing at a small desk or workstation, seemingly absorbed in their creative pursuits or work. The room is filled with natural light and has a rustic yet inviting charm, blending elements of nature and comfort.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my creative process, specifically the question “how can I portray a feeling or a moment within my images, that goes beyond the setting in which the image is captured?” This line of self-reflection was brought about when I read a comment someone made on Twitter, about the impact of using multiple images to tell stories. I have done this in the past, but often get caught up in the pursuit of getting those “over the top” shots for Instagram that tend to perform quite well. While it does take more time and intention to capture a series, versus a single image, I've found that my growth as an artist and storyteller has been much more significant when I've approached my work in this way. These two candid photographs are an example of when I was more intentional with doing just that, and it’s something I’m intending on incorporating back into my work on a more regular basis again. It won’t be a complete change to the content I’m creating, but it’s a change I’m excited about making and exploring as I continue to develop and grow in my creative process. I’m curious to hear your thoughts as well on this, is this a change you’d like to make? Are there other changes you’d like to make in your creative process to continue to learn and grow as an artist?
