guest post: inspiration, photography.

Hello friends!  I’m Micaela and I will be guest blogging for today!  I run an inspiration blog, The Drifter and the Gypsy, where I write about fashion, art and interior design (or anything else that inspires me, really). One of my biggest loves is photography, so I thought I’d share some photos I’ve taken recently.

The two little girls are so beautiful and such a joy for me to photograph.

When you get into photography you begin to see everything from a photographic point of view.  I often think to myself, “That would make a great picture.”  I haven’t gotten to the point where I bring my camera everywhere but I think it’s only a matter of time.

It’s funny how photography seems to consume your life.  I am constantly planning photo shoots in my head, scrambling to write my ideas down on scraps of paper before I forget them.

You can check out more photos I’ve taken here or stop by my blog where I periodically post my latest photo shoots.

    I love your photos! They’re so pretty, and I totally get what you mean about seeing everything from a photographic point of view. I think when I get a better camera, it will probably come everywhere with me.

    The problem for me with shoots is getting people to let me take photos of them!! (I managed to get an impromptu one though the other night at a bonfire – because it was just silhouettes they didn’t care that I was photographing them! Score!!)

    Anyway, your photography is lovely, as is your blog :)

    xx

    Hi i’m interested in the effect you give to your photos.so nice…it’s like “a deja-vu…” or a dream. very nice. woul you like to share some of your photoshop secret:D ?

  20. Micaela says:

    @Anca M: I didn’t actually use photoshop for most of these pictures (I just got photoshop a few weeks ago). I used Flickr picnik to edit my photos. I bought a fogolizer lens filter, which bascially, well, makes your photos foggy. That’s mainly where I get the effect from since I do minimal photoshopping.

  21. Your photography is always SO amazing!!! Beautiful images! :)
