Portugal dreaming

9/4/2017

One of my favorite aspects about Veni Etiam Photography is that there is SO much to choose from in the collection. My mission is to offer something for everyone - every style, mood, memory or dream. Whether you've been to a place and miss it, or whether it's a dream you're holding onto, I love it when these snapshots of places speak to you in a certain way.

Recently, a customer asked me whether I had more Portugal images than the ones already in my collection. I promised to send her some more options upon my return. This led to a fun exercise of sifting through photographs of Portugal that I had initially overlooked.

I love rediscoveries as much as I love custom requests! They always surprise me and make me nostalgic of places and moments I have loved.
​
These Portugal scenes have now been added to my international fine-art collection, and are available both in my shop and on Etsy.

Rediscoveries: A second look

10/2/2017

Every now and then, I end up going through my unpublished photo collections, in search of a memory or feeling that may be more buried than other more salient ones. I absolutely love rediscovering photographs that somehow didn't "make the cut" the first time around. It feels good to go back in time, to give a little bit of extra attention to what caught my eye long ago but was since forgotten.

As I had written in a post last year, this exercise is a direct testament to how our perception changes, and how returning to a place (even if virtually) leads you to see something new.

I always feel grateful for this surge of inspiration that comes even without my travelling or experiencing something new. When a cycle of rediscoveries emerges, I round up the photographs and add my favorite newcomers to my collection.

Here are this season's rediscoveries, which have been freshly added to the shop and to Etsy.

 Rediscoveries

Mystical Monopoli (C) Veni Etiam Photography
Over the years, the more practice I have had with capturing what I see and how I feel, the more attuned I have become to how looking through the lens changes what and how I see. It sometimes amuses me to think of how my perception changes - how new things suddenly begin to catch my eye and even become a stylistic habit, or how my experimentation with composition leads to fresh techniques. 

I don't know about you, but I am an incredibly s.l.o.w photographer when I am left to my own devices. I take a dozen variations of the same shot and only move on when I feel satisfied enough with the result. Sometimes, you get that feeling like you have caught a firefly in the palm of your hand or discovered a small fortune. Those are the photographs you think of when you are sitting on a train or in a café and reflecting on the day's "catch" - those are the photographs you can't wait to download to your computer and perfect. And yet, sometimes, other images totally surprise you. You cycle through the multitude of variations and painstakingly choose the most technically solid and aesthetically appealing one out of the minimally differing alternatives (this one or this one? or this one?), and sometimes this exercise gives rise to new favorites.

But what about those photographs that don't quite catch your attention during the first or even second pass? Does it ever happen to you that you go through images you've moved past -- months or even years later -- and discover new favorites? 

It happens to me, so reliably in fact that I have made a little tradition out of it by now to occasionally sift through old backups on a mission to pull out "rediscoveries". It is a direct testament to how our perception changes, and how returning to a place (even if virtually) leads you to love something that barely caught your attention at a previous time.

Every so often, this "lookback" results in new additions to the Veni Etiam collection, though the photographs themselves may have been taken several years ago.

I thought I would occasionally share these with you through this blog series, not only for you to find out what is new in shop, but also in case you are curious about the kinds of places, moods or compositions I have rediscovered lately.

Here are this season's rediscoveries. If you click on each one, you'll be taken to my Etsy shop where I have just freshly added these fine-art prints to the collection.
