We all have been there before – taking dozens of photos and none of them looking as bright and fabulous as the ones your favourite blogger uploads. I’ve been there and looking back now I wonder why the hell I thought that taking photos at 7 pm was a good idea. It definitely isn’t. Along time I’ve been learning how to take better photos and making them as bright as possible in A/W without using artificial light because – let’s admit it – some of us just don’t have the money for it.

Everyone outside this huge world of blogging thinks this is an easy task. “How don’t you have time to do it? It’s just a few pictures and text.” It isn’t and you – blogger – know that. I’ve lost count of the times I felt so overwhelmed with a number of tasks that need to be completed until you consider a blog post fully ready to go. Luckily through time, I’ve found a few tools that make my everyday blogging tasks easier and help me in specific situations.

There are times in life when things get out of control. We all have had those moments. Everything is going fine and then you shut your eyes for a second and when you open them again the world is upside down. A couple of months ago I wasn’t in a good place, I felt that I had no control over my life and everything of bad seemed to be happening at the same time. I became very insecure and fragile to the point where I could literally be laughing at one second and crying at the next.
Photographs can make it or break it when it comes to growing your blog or small business and that’s probably why everyone wants to know the deepest secrets of this art. But – and this is a big but – is there any secret to be told? Obviously there are things you must learn if you want to improve your photography – the basics of photography, shooting manual on a DSLR, aperture, shutter speed and all those complicated terms I couldn’t understand a few months ago; most of all it's practice, learning what works for you and finding your photography style.
“I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.” ― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
We're living in a world where society makes you think we don't have time to stop or to slow down. Stress seems to be a recurrent part of our days as we wake up worrying about how the day is going to go and we go to bed thinking about all that we have to do tomorrow.
