Getting Inspiration.

So today i wanted to talk about something some people struggle with...Inspiration. Yes, that feeling of being inspired.

Now my business is called Inspire so it's really important that i try to inspire others but what got me to that place first off?
Well many things inspire me. And i think when your being more aware of your surroundings you start noticing things and taking more photos of random objects or landscapes.

So, I've got an exercise for you (Literally...) Go take a walk! Go On! Take your phone or a camera with you and just walk. What do you notice?
A beautiful sky? Moody clouds? Busy streets? A strange looking tree? A certain expression on someones face?

Now don't obstruct anyone's privacy here but as far possible take photos of everything you notice.

When you get home pick out 1-5 photos you think you can work with. Then start sketching. I will insert some photos of inspiration and sketches so you can see what i'm talking about. The most important thing is running with an idea. If the photos have maybe made you think 'Oh i would love to have a go at painting a tree' Then do it! You have the photos to help you out.

Soon you'll notice that your carrying your camera around with you and stopping randomly in the street to take a photo.
 In order to be inspired you have to open up your eyes and mind.
