After 15 years of photography, I thought I’d tried it all.
But during the recent lockdown, I needed to discover new ways to shoot , as I was unable to leave my home.
I struggled at first. But that changed one evening in March when a friend reached out to me, wanting to share a photo he’d taken.
He’d found a tutorial on ExpertPhotography, and spent the day playing with the ideas in his kitchen.
I wasn’t expecting much as he was new to photography, but…
It was a beautiful image that was not only technically perfect but very creative.
This style of photography was so timely and fitting for people stuck at home around the world. So I grabbed the link and shared it with our email subscribers…
I’ve never seen a response quite like it.
It was clear that we weren’t the only ones who fell in love with the author’s style.
Within a day, I received dozens of emails from people who had tried it for themselves.
The images were so magical, abstract, fun, and bizarre… I knew I needed more.
