Natural sceneries – when the landscape reflects your mood
When I photograph natural sceneries, I do not simply try to capture the beauty of each location, but I also and especially seek to convey my state of mind.
Over the years, I have created a sort of visual diary, in which each landscape captured is associated with a title and a description of my mood for that day.
Photography has helped me grow, bring out my emotions and understand myself in a more profound manner.
I would like to share some of my most emotionally-significant shots with you.
Please note that with the exception of the first image, all of the others are accompanied by the original description.

A cloud is a wolf to another cloud – discouraged and disheartened
Cloudy sky
A bad experience at work had severely undermined everything I was sure of… I experienced the lack of scruples that can arise in certain work environments.
A few evenings later, still embittered by what had taken place, I was walking along the beach seeking a distraction of some sort. Nonetheless, I continued to mull over the incident until I happened to gaze up at the sky and the clouds caught my attention.
” ‘Homo homini lupus’ – I exclaimed – This is exactly what happened to me, the big cloud is trying to eat that little one…”
But the small cloud was escaping towards the light below, heading for salvation.
I understood that I needed to start afresh. Never be discouraged, never be overthrown – there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and bad experiences only serve to help in the future.
*
Unlimited spaces – leave me free
Unlimited spaces
A desire to live, to try and to explore.
The will to no longer need to depend on others. The longing to have my own experiences, to make mistakes, to fall, to get back up and to start all over again.
The fancy to take in the scent of the trees and be lost in the immensity of the sky. The need to walk until exhaustion, before lying down in the sunshine and watching the clouds travel along aimlessly, free of obligations. The itch to tell the world that I have myself and do not need anyone else.
How much would a single-bedroom apartment in the clouds cost? I want to surround myself with blue.
Blue planet
I left with the boats… Each day is a new journey and a new destination. At the end of the day, the boats put on their wings and take me home. I live in the clouds, where I rented a single-bedroom apartment to better view the sky.
When the temperature soars, I dive into the sea to cool off (and the boats go out of their way to give me a ride back up to the top). When it is cold, the sky becomes a warm dark coat that envelops and protects me.
Blue planet, blue planet, tell me there is also room for me… Let me be your queen!
Soul mate trees – eternal love
An enchanting dusk
I want to find my soul mate tree with which to gaze out over the horizon, from here to eternity. And I want this sky, I always want this sky infused with my two favourite colours.
Dear blue and dear purple, is it possible that only I have noticed that you are made for each other? You too are soul mates!
You need to take each other by the hand and sketch my days, my dawns, my sunsets and my nights. No day will ever be the same, no night shall any longer be dark. Me and my soul mate tree, you and your dances in the sky.
To infinity and beyond – a future rich in hope
Rising sun
A never-ending journey towards the light, because whilst ever there is light, there is hope and I see so much of that.
I will never stop walking, I will never stop overcoming obstacles, I will never stop learning but above all, I will never stop travelling, given that there are no goals and no limits.
When I reach that light right there at the end, a new magnificent setting will open up…
And with this bid of hope, born from a youthful stream of conscience, I make it a date for the next article or, better yet, the next visual story.

I stumbled on this post after reading your post on abandoned buildings and i must say you shed a new point of view for different parts of nature. I am really impressed and inspired on how you are able to provide such key insights into something as simple as a cloud formation on my mood.
You are totally spot on!
Thank you.
Thanks for leaving another beautiful comment Barry, I am humbled by your words. Actually I only tried to put down in words my then mood and so let my mind wander… I was lucky to take some appropriate pictures. 🙂
Thanks again,
Lara
The very first pictures and the enchanting dusk are just amazing. The first one takes me back to the western parts of Australia. The enchanting dusk is just magical. The colors are so vivid. Your text with the rising sun is beautiful and it gives hope. You are right wherever there is light there is hope.
Thanks so much for another lovely comment Alexandra, you made my day. 🙂
We need oxygen to survive and light to live. Wherever there is light you know it is not over!
Thanks again,
Lara
I like the concept of your article. I like the way each photo that you snapped represented a different state of mind. One with a bigger cloud eating a smaller one representing the cutthroat world that we live in. Another with trees close to one another representing soulmates. The last one representing infinity and beyond. i would rename it: “Sky’s the limit. Your photos were well-chosen. Anyway, keep dropping that good content.
Thanks so much for your encouragement Jean, it means so much to me. I am extremely glad that I was able to convey my state of mind in a way that people empathized with me.
Truly, I feel so blessed.
Thanks again,
Lara
You take my breath away. I am so inspired by your photography.
Sunrises, sunsets and all day in-between. What I love about cloud formations, is that they are always different. I really dig the “A cloud is a Wolf to another cloud”. I always look for different cloud pictures but have never been fortunate enough to discover one for myself.
Well done. You have incredible talent.
What a lovely comment Rosie, thank you very much. 🙂
I was lucky to find that cloud formation, honestly… I have seen countless of course, but that was one of a kind. Also, I could not see it at a better time, given my then mood.
Thanks again for your lovely words,
Lara
Dear Lara,
Wow, as always your photos are awesome and it is directly speaking to the heart. Every Single Time I read an article of yours and watch your collections, I enjoy a lot!
Via your photos you also convey some great message which is helpful. And I enjoy the title you give to your photos.
Cloudy sky and Rising sun is my pick. Both conveying great message and giving a lot of hope. How you can get great inspiration and change your mood and mindset from your photos is amazing and it inspires me.
Wishing you all success!
Paul
You are so kind Paul, your appreciation truly means a lot to me.
Well, these pictures were taken in different stages of my life but they have one thing in common: an intense emotional load.
I decided to put them all together and create a strong visual story ending with a positive message.
I am glad that you like it and I am even gladder that you feel inspired by that. 🙂
Thanks again,
Lara
those are really nice shots! Id love to take pictures like that be I’m not sure where to start or what equipment to get. I’ve read that starter photographers should stick with cheap cameras first. Is that what you recommend? I’d also l to see a post about how to get started in photography and what types of products you’d recommend.
Thank you so much for your words James. 🙂
Well yes, this is what I recommend, in the sense that it takes some practice to take good pictures and one might find out photography is not their cup of tea in the process. So rather than spending a lot of money on an expensive camera to only use it a couple of times, it is certainly better starting off with a cheaper device.
Regarding your other question, I cannot really say much, because I am just an amateur photographer who takes pictures” with her phone camera. Mine is more of an “emotional” photography blog, rather than a technical one. and for this reason my answer is going to be accordingly. In order to get started in photography, you only need two things: a camera (any cameras) and a lot of passion. At the same time, I cannot really recommend any products in particular, but the ones I have tried. Before my Cubot Max, I had the great Samsung A8 Plus and a Huawei. I loved the Samsung, but to be honest with you, my favourite camera phone, was another Chinese cheap smartphone called VKWorld T1 Plus. Sadly, it is out of production now, but I suggest that you keep an eye on eBay and it could be listed as a pre-owned item at anytime.
I hope this somehow answers your questions.
Thanks again for your comment,
Lara
I read your first article about nature and i said to myself that you must love poetry as this goes to prove it, it is a nice article and there is no doubt about it that the views of the sun rise and sun set ,has it’s wonders and beauty to behold and speaking of the cloud, i will say that is pure art on its own, it brings out images to make you wonder how that managed to get up there. Nice article keep doing the good work.
Hello Seun and thanks for taking time to leave another nice comment. 🙂
Correct, in addition to photography, I also like poetry. I thought that combining them in order to create some visual stories could be a good idea. I am both glad and honoured to share my thought with my readers and the comments I am getting are very rewarding. I am definitely going to take this avenue again.
Thanks again,
Lara
Your pictures are absolutely stunning. I can really see the mood in them too. I find that pictures have a way of capturing more than just the visual whether you mean to or not. You mention you deliberately look for scenes that reflect your mood of the day.
In my experience looking back I can see my mood on that day by the pictures I took, so even subconciously I have reflected the mood of the day. Photography really is an amazing thing.
I am so glad to read such words Linda and I could not agree more: photography is more than an image… It is amazing that you have come to realize that the same thing was subconsciously happening to you. 🙂
Thank you very much for your comment,
Lara
As like you I always try to take pictures of the nature I been all my life an outdoor person and I nature lover, your 3rd picture the blue planet reminds me crater lake at Oregon I took a picture of my kids in this place, people ask me in what studio I took that picture. I hope more people after reading your post start realizing the beauty of the nature.
Thank you for sharing this great article.
Thanks for your wishes, that is also my hope.
In my small way I try to change the world! 🙂
Glad to hear you too are a nature lover!
Thanks again,
Lara
Ps.
I would love to see the picture you mentioned.
Wow, first off please just let me say W.O.W. As I read your article about Italian Alleyways it was easy to imagine another era and the life that was going on there. The buildings look like flats, so I could almost hear a mother shouting at her children to come in for dinner. A whole lifetime wrapped up in a few pictures.
I simply love the way you seemed to capture not only my imagination with your pictures but also in how you came across these hidden places. Almost as if they were there only for you to see. I can not decide if I like Alleyway in Genoa or Glimpse of a Genoa Square best.
Thank you very Mercedus, I am so glad that you liked my article about Italian alleyways . Your comment is really encouraging and I cannot thank you enough for your support.
Unfortunately you left your comment on another article, but that does not change my appreciation for your kind words.
Thanks again,
Lara
I am a big fan of your photography. Every single of your photos are not just photos they have so much meaning to them. I love reading the small paragraphs after each picture. I spend a lot of time in your website. It just makes me so calm.
Thank you so much for sharing this article with us.
Hello Sujandar, great to read another of your comments. 🙂
I am so humbled by your words… I promise you that I will always do my best to publish engaging visual stories.
Thanks again, I am really grateful to have a reader like you.
Lara
I have always dreamed of you having a Nikon DSR camera but I have never come across a review that will be specific with which is the best .but know I have it and I am going to buy my self one in my next birthday I know I can’t go wrong with one of those great cameras so it’s time to reward myself.
Thank you for your comment Charles but I am afraid there is a misunderstanding.
I use my phone camera to take my pictures. Nikon is my favourite, but I have never owned one.
Good luck with your purchase anyway and please let me know how it goes. 🙂
Lara
Lara, as a photographer myself that lives in an area with lots of talented photographer, I have seen so many great pictures that I’m not easily impressed. Yet, your blog post truly impressed me. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Your photographs and skies speak volumes. Yet, when your comments are added, you have created a visual song with your photographs.
You are blessed to live in a very beautiful area.
Although I am a Canon person, I couldn’t help but notice your photography equipment selection. I am assuming your are a Nikon person. So, out of curiosity, if money were no object, which of the camera’s shown would be your choice for a camera to use next week? Why?
Sondra
Oh, you managed to give me goosebumps twice Sondra… Again, I do not know what you say. A gazillion of thanks for your words, your appreciation means the world to me. 🙂
Regarding your question, yeah I love Nikon and I would love to get one, but I have not had a chance yet.
That said, a friend of mine has a D750 and she allowed me to take some pictures weeks ago… What can I say, it is beyond amazing, you can really take shots that are out of this world.
So this would definitely be my choice.
Thanks again,
Lara
Hi Lara, your page transports me to a whole other place. I loved looking at your images, and your descriptions and feelings associated with those images. I feel as though you see the world in a very similar way to me, although I don’t have photography expertise to back it up! Lol. If I were to document this kind of thing it wouldn’t be nearly as impressive as yours 😊.
It’s funny but my kids and I will often look into the sky and find shapes in the clouds. Whether it’s a dragon, a fish or a crocodile, there is something magical about the way we can look at nature, and the impact of our emotions at the time which can influence what we see, or how we perceive it.
Hello Melissa, I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful words. 🙂
Putting down in words the feelings and the emotions I associate with my pictures has been an absolutely rewarding experience… Not only am I getting a lot of love, but also I get the chance to talk to like-minded people.
This is incredibly encouraging and I will do my best to keep delivering unfiltered visual stories.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Lara
Your photographs are amazing, not only do they relay how you feel, but each picture can create a feeling within our selves. The saying ‘a picture can speak a thousand words’ is entirely true. I encourage my followers to take pictures for their gratitude journals, to capture the moments that speak to their hearts. You have done just that. Thank you
I am so humbled by your words, thank you so much. 🙂
I try to go with my heart in anything I do and it is so rewarding to meet like minded people you. I really feel like I am conveying my feelings and emotions the right way.
Thanks again,
Lara
Hi Lara
I love how you say photography has helped you to understand yourself in a “more profound manner”. It’s quite evident when one views your photographs and the commentary that goes with each.
I particularly like the Cloudy Sky one. The sky is dark and the clouds quite ominous but for me, just that strip of green in the middle of the shot is a promise of hope and growth.
I also love the Rising Sun shot. No matter how bad my day is, there’s always another when the sun rises and I can start a new. With the sun comes light, warmth and hope yet again.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts via the lens of your camera – just beautiful.
Mark
Thanks for your beautiful words Mark, I truly appreciate your in-depth comments.
I am glad to open my heart with my readers, being able to mutually empathize with all of you is priceless. That feeling of mutual growth makes my day in many beautiful ways.
Thanks again,
Lara
Thank you Lara for sharing with us ¨Natural sceneries – when the landscape reflects your mood¨. This is definitely another great example of your versatility. The shades of blue and purple in the sky in the first picture are absolutely majestic. I thought your black and white photos were your peak of artistry… I was wrong.
Thanks for commenting again Enrique, I am flattered by your words.
Actually I never thought I was versatile, I just piled up shots until I realized I could divide them into categories. It is nice when you do things spontaneously only to realize you have your natural preferences. 🙂
Thanks again for your beautiful words,
Lara
Great info and good post.
Thede pictures are simply amazing, I wished I was such a good photographer, but unfortunately I’m not even the half as good you are.
Now, I never stood still about the moods behind pictures, yes indeed the cloud is unhappy, and the light is happy, but like trees and everything, that they also resemble a mood is new to me.
Anyway, I really enjoy reading it, it opened a new world to me and I really like it.
Thanks a lot for sharing it.
Thanks for commenting Emmanuel, I am glad that you appreciate my visual stories.
Do not say that you are not good, I am just an amateur and you have definitely a lot of room to improve. If you love photography you can become some photographers… My “engine” is my passion. 🙂
Thanks again,
Lara
Wow That cloudy picture you captured looks like a wolf eating something, perfect timing! I envy you that you can find the right moment to capture a picture that can express your feelings at the moment. I have no talent for photography at all. I love the Blue planet since blue is one of my favorite colors. The rising sun makes me feel that there is still hope out there (not sure if that is what you are trying to express. Great pictures, can’t wait to see more 🙂
Hello Nuttanee, and thanks for dropping by again.
You are correct, this is exactly what I was trying to express. This is my attitude towards life: no matter what we have been through, there is still hope out there, we can still turn our lives around.
I truly appreciate your nice words, 🙂
Lara
Hi Lara,
You’ve just made me realized that photos influence human emotions really. I felt much joyful with the planet pic and then felt lots of hope with the rising sun pic. A photographer is an artist indeed. As you said, you did not only capture the beauty of the scenes but also seek to convey your state of mind. This article is great. Thanks for sharing this article. I love it.
I am very glad to hear that Taviwan. You know, when taking a picture, I always let my heart take over. This sort of “therapy” has helped me overcome many adversities in life.
It is of fundamental importance to let others know how we feel and when I say “photography has helped me bring out my emotions”, well, I really mean it…
Thank you very much for your lovely words, 🙂
Lara
Awesome post. Nature images is something I can never have enough. Those shots looks perfect and beautiful, the image attached to the “a cloud is a wolf to another cloud” got me laughing. I love the simplicity at which you write. Short precise and straight to point. I’m so bookmarking this page. Good job
Thank you Faftop, I appreciate your kind words.
You know, when you go with your heart, there cannot be any misunderstandings… Putting down in words my emotions makes me feel a better person. I firmly believe that showing my true self can be of help to others.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
My favorite color is blue!!!! I know with this information I just shared, you already know that my favorite is the Blue Planet. I love the open sky, blue and rich. Sunny, inviting and uplifting of a moody soul. I am in love with the way you have poetical described the pictures with your word. It gives inspiration and perspective. It makes them not just another picture of a beautiful scenery but one with a part of the photographer’s mood and emotions at the time it was shot. Beautiful work of art.
My favourite colours are blue and purple Vapz… Anytime I see a blue sky with shades of purple, I feel ecstatic!
Thank you for your nice words, I went with my heart and tried to convey every bit of emotion was running through my veins. It is a great feeling to know that my readers empathize with me.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
I love the cloudy sky photo. Very beautiful.. I don’t know if you did it on purpose but th symmetry is just brilliant. Just up above are the clouds and blow dry land with a parch of grass field just between the sky and the land on the picture.. I really feel emotions from it believe me you have a beautiful collection.
Hello Polycarp and thanks for your nice words.
Well yes, I did it on purpose in this case.
The scenery was lovely and when I saw those clouds, I thought I had a good chance to create something remarkable.
It is one of the shots I am most fond of. Actually I feel like I was able to tell a very personal story.
Thanks again for your compliments, 🙂
Lara
Hello Lara,
It is really a nice post. I like photography though I am not pro. I loved your photography very much. I am amazed after seeing the photos which have been taken by you and, all the captions of those photos touched my heart. I got inspirations for sky and nature photography. But, I have to buy a new camera first. Thinking to start with Nikon D5300.
Thanks for such a nice post as usual. please, keep posting like this 🙂
Radeet
Hello Radeet and thanks for your lovely words..
A Nikon is a great camera (I personally love it), but in my humble opinion, you should start with a cheaper product. I am saying this because you might end up not liking taking pictures or not clicking with such an expensive camera.
It is something you have to take into account.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
These are just such beautiful photographs. They are really breathtaking. The way you captured the clouds is amazing. And then you add your poetry to them. What an awesome gift you have! I read in the comments you use your phone camera to take pictures. Amazing! Thank you for sharing your photographs and words….
Thank you so much Lynn, well yes it is true I use my trusted Cubot Max for the moment, even though I have got something in the pipeline… 😉
Photography has helped me bring out my feelings and emotions and it is great when people can empathize with me. The fact that you call them “poetry” is really flattering.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
Thank you for sharing your natural scenery images, they each convey a story. You really know how to use that camera of yours to catch the moment, and your words help it stick in the memory long after the visitor has left the page. I can see the hungry wolf and high-rise apartment building in the cloud. And Rising sun screams freedom to me. But I’m lost in the woods. Until the time, God bless. -LeNard
Great way to analyze my visual story LeNard, I appreciate it!
I am glad that you enjoyed my post, and your words definitely encourage me to keep producing (hopefully)
engaging content, both written and visual.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
Wow, I really like this article. I like the way each picture portray your state of mind most especially when you refer that you want to surround yourself with blue; living in the clouds, I so much love it and soulmate trees. This is so wonderful. I want to make a request, when you get to the clouds, invite me also.
Hello Dhayours and thanks for leaving another nice comment.
I am glad that you appreciated my visual story to the extent that you too want to move to the clouds. 😉
It is not that hard in the end… Take a beautiful picture, close your eyes and start dreaming…
Thanks again,
Lara
Im in love with your photography. That’s a great talent that you have and I’m definitely following your Instagram page. I love how you have a story for each picture and that they all represent a different emotion. Very well written posts in my opinion. My favorites are the cloud formations. Nice, keep up the good work
Hello Alex, thanks for your nice comment.
I consider myself an amateur photographer, so your words are truly flattering.
I will be happy to follow you back on Instagram and look at your pictures. I am always on the hunt for inspiration in order to get better and better.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
In many cases, the photographer gets to pick up natural sceneries and fields to reflect the mood. This characteristics comes naturally to them with years of extensive practice. The picture of the sun setting in the east just above the equator reflects the mood as a sign of wellness and hope.
Hello Ennymatics and thanks for your comment.
Now that I think of it, you could be right… Since the very beginning I tried to let my pictures do the talk for me and after years of practice I am very content with what I can express. Not saying that my pictures are great of course. I am just an amateur photographer and I always tend to keep a low profile. It is a matter of feeling accomplished with what I get to create.
And yes, that sun is pure hope… 🙂
Lara
WOW! Lara, what a great and inspiring post. The wolf. I saw it almost immediately. Your pictures are beautiful and make me want to just hook up my trailer and take off for less complicated places.
I want to be where these places are and I can see how they can change a mood or thought.
“Start all over again.” That’s the beauty of each day, isn’t it? We get to start fresh.
I am a guy and I truly find these inspiring.
I’ll be coming back for more, Lara. Wow!
Wayne66
Hello Wayne,
It is very refreshing to know that I can motivate someone to go out and “experience” nature.
Really, I cannot explain how good I feel upon reading your comment. You know, I go with my heart and if people empathize with me, then they realized that I am real. By taking captures of the outside world, we get to explore ourselves and share our feelings and emotions with others. is it not great?
Thanks so much for your comment, 🙂
Lara
This very funny to me. Infact it’s amazing to know that there are many photos that are associated to the mood of the photographer. As I was reading through I felt like, those shots are talking to me which I’m ready to listen. Infact before I read the next picture I tried to read the mood or meaning behind it before reading yours. I love those pictures. The one with blue sky (how much will a single bedroom cost) makes me feel like sleeping any time I look at it.
Thank you for your nice comment Marshall, I truly appreciate you empathizing with my pictures and my visual story.
Being able to convey my feelings and emotions is a huge accomplishment.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
I really like this article as you are able to describe how you use photography to express you emotions, I think with a positive mindset you will see the landscapes differently than with a negative mindset. I also have a similar niche to yours, I have one on art, I often encourage people to have a creative mindset and try to see the world in different perspectives as this is what will help us to grow.
I could not agree more Hbee, thinking positive is of fundamental importance to grow.
Suffering is sadly essential, to reflect and mature, but reacting and coming back stronger is what will “vouch for” our personal growth.
Many thanks for your comment, 🙂
Lara
That’s an awesome post. It shows how well connected you are with the nature. All pics in your article is refreshing and educational as well. In our busy life, how much we confine our mental space!
I’ve noticed that the nature in different countries feels so different. Sky and clouds are everywhere, but still they give different refreshing experiences.
Thanks a lot for sharing this article. I’m glad that I get to read from your site.
Thank you very much Akshaysaxena, I truly appreciate your comment.
True, we live in a wonderful world and it is honestly rewarding being able – in my small way – to show part of its beauty.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
Very nice photos!
The cloudy sky is my favourite one. It’s hard to catch such a scene, the colour of the clouds are grey and while and the field is brown and green.
As you said the big cloud is trying to eat a small one its so much visible :).
It’s incredible how you describe the mood and mental status in each of those pictures. I love watching pictures but never thought that deep.
Your website is amazing!
Thank you Snap Brisk, I am humbled by your words.
I am truly glad that my post helped you see things in a different way… We connected and it is a rewarding feeling.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
Wow…… Am really amazed with this post, the concept of your article is super amazing. The definition of each pictures really describe a state of mind. I must confess you just did a great job. This is purely art, the pictures were taken by you and adding poetry to it. Everything went perfectly. Thanks for sharing with us your thought. Keep doing the good work. Regards
Thank you so much Adamuts, your kind words made my day.
This is my way of seeing photography… What I take is what I feel, it is an indissoluble bond.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
The vastness of nature is reflected in your photographs especially Unlimited Spaces. It leaves me in a state of awe and humbled by the feeling of smallness. I am but a transitionary speck in the immensity of it. Yet, it continues on every day with the rising sun. Thank you for sharing.
Well, it is me who should be thanking you for sharing such beautiful words Glen.
It is great to mutually connect with my readers… I try to convey my feelings and my emotions, and you gave it back to me by sharing your thoughts. Absolutely rewarding. Photography helps us all dig deep in our hearts.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
Aww.. aww… awn… These pictures are so pretty! The big bad wolf cloud, trying to get the little scared wolf cloud, sometimes describes my mood too.
The infinity and beyond picture, is my favorite. It holds so much of what I believe and expresses it expressly.
I love your photographs and the messages they carry, keep the work going, thumbs up!
Thanks so much for your lovely words Peace.
I am glad you empathize with my pictures and find messages in them. It is comments like this that make feel proud of having started a blog.
Thanks again for your encouragement, 🙂
Lara
Wow Lara! I am speechless, I got emotional reading about the incident that led to your taking of the first picture. The picture vividly depicted the way you were feeling at the point in time. I know that no matter the travails, once we keep holding on to our faith, we will triumph at the end of it all.
It is not often easy for people to share with others, moments that is most emotional for them, but you did just that, and by this, you are inadvertently encouraging people passing through one difficult phase or the other that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks for your post.
Thank you so much Gracen, your words are so encouraging.
Yes, I always want to leave a positive message no matter what. Photography makes things easier for me, as I get to tell what words alone struggle to convey.
My post here is none other than a visual story about my emotional growth… It did not start well, but through suffering, rebellion, passion, dreams, illusions and reality checks, I eventually saw that very light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks again, 🙂
Lara
Awesome post, Lara. It’s been a while since I visited your first post in your website, ever since I’ve been a huge fan of your work. I’m so glad to see your post today. I like your article because they directly comes out from your heart and experience. Every single pic demonstrates your passion of photography and how you use it to put your feelings out.
Those days I didn’t have Instagram account, but now I’m following you there. This particular post has been very educational for me as it allowed my mind to explore in unexplored territory of photography. Lot to learn from your work.
Thanks a lot for sharing this amazing article.
Thank you very much Akshay, I am so glad you are appreciative of my work.
Really, yours is a beyond supportive comment, I did not see it coming, but it definitely made my day.
It will be a pleasure to follow you back and see your Instagram page. If you ever want to ask me some questions about my work, please feel free to say hi.
Thanks again,
Lara
