Photo Tips

Photographing Details: Capturing the Cozy

Me Ra Koh

On Sunday evenings I spend a little time at my desk, prepping for the upcoming week.  The little balls on my lamp shade always make me smile.  Definitely my personal cozy touch at my desk.

Since the photo is about the repetition of all those little balls, I framed the photo with just enough of the lamp base to give us a place of setting and anchoring.

With the endless information on the internet of how to take photos or worse yet, how we “should” take photos, our creative well can dry up before it even has a chance to experience being full.  I find little exercises like this keep the well from draining.

Try it out and when you are done photographing details, post your cozy details on my Facebook page! I’d love to give you feedback!

In the meantime, I have to ask this because I want to go shoot more of it!  What comes to mind when you think of a “cozy” detail or collection?!  Post it in today’s comments, and you may see me post a photo of it on my Facebook page or here.  We can inspire each other!

    Fun photos, Me Ra! I love how you took photos of things that we may see all the time but don’t stop to pay attention to. “Cozy” makes me think of mugs of warm drinks, snuggling in blankets, and warm mittens. 🙂

    Love that you are blogging again! :). I’ve missed your words and photos. Can’t wait to hear more about what you’ve been up to!

    Love this – and have been doing this myself without thinking about it! As I knit a sweater for my granddaughter I became so aware of every stitch and how they all work together…not to mention that insane fact that the whole sweater is made from one string!
