Use Instagram to discover your highest values

It is Photoweek at CreativeLive and as usual it has been an amazing outpouring of inspirational information.
My favourite so far being Sue Bryce's session on empowering and energising your business. Her discussion on discovering your highest values is an eye opener. It's something that I 'sort of' knew and 'kind of' felt throughout the span of my life when making choices and taking decisions.

Playing around with an Instagram widget, it dawned on me that I could use this tool to discover these values; what I like to talk about and do. It can also help you see a detailed insight in what you do: the colours you like, the settings and compositions.
Try it! Your collage of images might tell you more about yourself than what you know! :)

My progress so far

I've been going through my Photo library from the past 2 years to check on my photography development. I can definitely see progress in all areas: composition, technical, story telling and post processing.

My family have been very cooperative through my learning process and have made the time to do these photo shoots. It's great, as you get to document different stages in their lives and these photographs make great gifts! :)

It's a good idea to go back through your work and sometimes re-work your images, as with time you're able to see where things need to improve and you have a digital journal of your progress.

I will hopefully be doing more baby shoots in the near future and have been watching the latest Sue Bryce/ Kelly Brown CreativeLive workshop 'Bumps to Babies', which will help me a lot through these shoots.

Creativelive

CreativeLive is the most amazing resource I've found on the net!
I can't even remember how I can across it, I think I was just searching the web for photography information, and boom!

The most recent course: 28 Days with Sue Bryce has been the most amazing and powerful one that pushes me to create and practice everyday.
It's not easy working full time and trying to get a photography business off the ground, but the common theme from all these workshops is the same: work hard and it will pay off.

Meanwhile, at our home, we finally put up our letterbox! Mail is now being delivered to our state, so Maya and Daddy have been busy around the house :). It's great to see them both working together, she loves helping.
