July - December 2013

I traveled to London in July and I took a lot of fun photos. I also spent a lot of my time in Photoshop again and I continued to experiment with self-portraits. 

I took a lot of sunset photos and landscape photos in August. Also, I started to study media and communication at school, and I learned a lot! I still learn things everyday. One of the things I've learned at school, is that the knowledge I get from for example film-history class will help my photography. Everything I learn is important even if it's not about photography.

In the month of September we were studying photography at school. I took a lot of photos that month and we had a lot of different tasks to do. The weather was on my side and I took a lot of light photos focusing on details. 

I was in a "black and white" mood in October. I took some portraits and some architecture photos. 

I started to make "quotes in a photo" photo's in November, and It's one of my favourite thing to do in Photoshop. I remember I had to look it up on google all the time, because I always forgot how to do it. However, now it takes me less than a minute to do it and I know the routine well!

To be honest, I didn't take a lot of photos in December. I wasn't feeling well and I just wanted to take a break and relax.

January - June 2013

I didn't take a lot of nature photos in January. The weather was bad, I had a lot of school projects and I didn't have a lot of inspiration. I took a lot of inside photos that month, and I called it Inside Beauty. 

In February I took a lot of photos outside! I remember I used my Leica m8 with the 75mm a lot, but I also used my Canon 600D as well. I took a lot of landscape photos and quote photos. 

I used a lot of time in Photoshop in March and I experimented a lot that month. I was also on a photo workshop and I photographed a dancer for the first time! It was hard, but really fun! I took a lot of art photos in the month of March. 

I focused a lot on details and little things in April. I continued with the theme Inside Beauty and I tried to find things at home to photograph. I tried out a lot of different things!

The weather was much better in May. I focused a lot on colour tones this month. I started to really like warm toned photos! However, I also edited a lot of photos  grey and foggy. 

In the month of June, I took some narrative self-portraits. I remember that my self-timer was broken, so I had to focus on a spot and then I had 10 seconds to run and pose in front of the camera. It was so much fun, and I really want to take more narrative self-portraits in 2014!

Part 2 with July-December 2013 is coming soon!
