You might have noticed that this is similar to an earlier image of mine.
I shot the earlier image as a ode to evolving and becoming more confident as an artist. I thought it would be interesting and perfect to create a new, similar image as a new of expressing that same feeling.
This year I have really been working on getting over things that I felt that have been holding me back creatively and it's been the most freeing feeling to do so. It's been so wondeful this week creating with as much time as I need. I cannot wait to get that point all the time.
Happy Creating! xx

When you look at the world around you, do you believe that you are spreading light or darkness? Do you even know? Or ever stop to think about it?
Recently, I have been pondering this question. Am I doing more harm than good with my attitude? Just today I caught myself thinking, I wish I could rewind my life back 2 years and I wouldn’t make all the mistakes I’ve made since then – as long as I could rewind my life with all of the knowledge that I have now. I think humans often wish to go back, undo the mistakes they’ve made and move forward with the knowledge they have now.
Until going back in time becomes an option, we must go forward and do our best to learn from where we came and move forward with grace, love and patience towards ourselves. Even though I would love to rewind 2 years, I wouldn’t want to erase some of my greatest accomplishments of those 2 years or unmeet some of the beautiful people that have crossed my path.
If you could undo something from the past few years, what would you undo?

“Adapting to the new norm” - 2020
2020 has been the year that has caught us all by surprise. Before March, most of us were moving about our lives as we normally might – like busy bodies trying to get from one place to the next just trying to “make it” through the day. That was me. I was working five jobs and was just trying to “survive” another week. My memory was failing me from being so busy, I knew I had to stop but I didn’t know how until life forced me to.
The pandemic forced me to slow down. It came at me like a branch flies through a windshield – it knocked me hard off my feet and onto the ground. It felt like slamming your breaks on the highway when you’ve been speeding at 90mph – luckily no one was hurt but it was scary. THAT is the feeling March of 2020 gave me.
Then I felt ease. It felt good to focus on less. I started to realize that this branch that had completely lodged itself in my life was now a part of me and one that I could joyfully live with because it was teaching me how to slow down.
I have always believed that humans are incredibly adaptable and I see it in this new norm. That does not mean that you have to be accepting of injustices. It does mean that even though it felt like our world slammed its breaks and ejected us out of the car, we have managed to stand up and adapt to our new life – bruises, broken bones and all.
We are resilient and we are strong.
How have you adapted to your new norm?

I freeze mid flight gliding on the winds of a summer. My breath stolen, my sanity falling, I am spiralling. Drowning in the abyss of sticky thoughts, my mind slowly warps. A prisoner of a glass tomb where safety surrounds yet still my heart thuds against my chest. This is not me, I was free from anxiety. The dread stalks the world screams, and all i could do was I freeze mid flight.
you may have noticed that this image is similar or even the same as an older image of mine. and i'm sure if you have followed for quite some time now, you probably know about how much I love to go back and re-edit old images of mine to see how different my post processing has changed.
i decided to upload the image as a new post so the original image edit can remain untouched and how it was before.
thanks to all my followers and viewers for letting me be quirky about my images from time to time. <3

What are you doing to replenish your soul? Are you constantly giving of yourself without replenishing yourself?
I often find myself in the position of giving everything of myself without taking the time to nurture and replenish my energy. I give and give and give until there is nothing left and I collapse or I put myself in an environment that is desolate and not conducive to nurture me. Lately, I am being more intentional about drawing boundaries so that my soul can replenish itself after I have given a lot of myself to others.
I want you to know that you are an important being. There is nothing wrong with giving but there is also nothing wrong with taking. Strike a balance between both so that your cup can remain full. Find an environment that feeds into you instead of taking from you. Our resources are finite if we don’t care for them and at some point, those who we give to will have nothing to receive because you will be depleted. You matter and nurturing yourself is more important that nurturing others. Take care of yourself first so that you can then turn around and take care of others.

Leenaun, also Leenane, is a village and 1,845 acre townland in County Galway, Ireland, on the southern shore of Killary Harbour and the northern edge of Connemara.
Shot this for a collab with the super talented and equally awesome Vilde! We wanted to play with cold/warm tones, and basically ended up with two cold toned pictures, lol!
Absolutely everything that could go wrong, went wrong on this shoot. My 50mm 1.4 died (RIP!), I screwed up royally when I shot the pictures around the model for the expansion, and my Macbook Pro decided it was time for the yearly "I refuse to work correctly until you empty your harddrive" complaints. I've been working on this since Sunday, which is just ridiculous, because the picture itself isn't that impressive. On top of that, I could not for the life of me get the colors to work. Maybe I'll reupload this with a different edit at some point.
Note to self: Do not ever attempt to do an exreme brenizer, a hair flip, throw glitter and use a backround with so many different colors and textures at the same time, ever again. This pictures makes me rage just looking at it!! Not happy with this at all! Better luck next time, right? ;)
Check out Vilde though, she's been so patient with my complaints on Facebook, lmao. And her photo is beautiful! We really need to re-do this whole collaboration thing. Was meant to be so fun, but ended up being so frustrating. Don't you just hate it when everything goes wrong? Sigh.

"It’s easier to hold on to our safety net than let it go and fully achieve who we know we are meant to become. It feels easier to hang on to what is safe. We spend years dreaming of what our lives could be but we don’t take action. I know I am not speaking to everyone but I am speaking to the person out there just like me. It’s time to fly..."
I had an itch to create this week and an urge to experiment. Water splashes, dribbles, and so fourth are an element I have been wanting to incorporate into different concepts so I thought i would test different ways of shooting that and editing it.

Creativity has always been of a fickle, often elusive, friend of mine. Work, travel, schedules often conspire to drain my creative energy and prevent me from creating consistently. You can tell by the big time gaps in my uploads here. My posts often occur in bunches with long gaps between them.
I’ve had some time recently and I’ve really enjoyed creating these silly little composite images with my granddaughters. They love seeing themselves in these stories, and I love having this as something we can share. I know that a time will come when they won’t always want to spend time with me and they certainly won’t want to participate in these kinds of projects as they get older, so I’m gonna enjoy the ride as often as I can.
I know that composite images like this aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and many don’t consider them true photography, and that’s fair. I’ve just never wanted to lock myself into one kind of photography.
For those who’ve enjoyed these Halloween images, and provided feedback, I thank you. For those who really don’t enjoy photoshopped images, but have continued to view and follow my work anyway, I also thank you.
I truly appreciate you all!
I got extra ambitious and shot two images yesterday while out exploring with my camera. I am always telling myself that I want to start practicing shooting multiple images during a shoot. If not two seperate pieces, at least a sister image to accompany the main concept.
This is my favorite concept that I shot yesterday. I have been wanting to use this abandoned barn structure as a back drop for quite some time. The most 'entertaining' part of the shoot was watching a car that was leaving the parking lot pull over near where were shooting and, presumably, watching what I was doing. People do the strangest things around photogs.
I hope everyone has had a very creative weekend. xx
Don't forget about the print giveaways I have going on this month! Links are below. (-:

I was recently introduced to a different style of taking and lighting photos by a gentleman named Spencer Wynn, whom I have known for several years.
Spencer has a unique style: he will light a scene by taking multiple photos and illuminating sections individually with a flashlight. He then combines all of those images in Photoshop as layers, works a bit of magic, and that results in one single image, which is made up of several stacked images.
That is an overly simplified explanation of how this is done; actually doing this and making it work requires several steps!
After learning how to do this from Spencer, I've been in search of places and things where I can try this. My friend Ground State Photography told me of this beautiful old 1930s Packard that I could try it on.
The car is located on someones property, so the night before I headed to the home and asked the sweet woman who lived there if I could return the next night and take some photos of the car, she said yes.
Being my first attempt at this, I know there are improvements to be made, such as illuminating the ground all the way behind the car, lighting up the inside of the car, adjusting white balance and removing the overall green/blue in the image.
This image was created with 12 separate frames, one for the sky and 11 with the flashlight illuminating all of the different parts of the car, the grass and the trees. I did have a layer where the inside of the car was illuminated, but it came out far too bright.

This is a composite of 4 total images, Isabelle, the room, the table and the globe. All of the images were edited and combined in Photoshop CC.
I recently met a sweet lady and her awesome daughter. This is one of the pieces I created for her! We had a photoshoot at a local park where I used my Sony A7ii with Sony 50mm 1.8 lens to capture her photos. Then I used a tree background from Adobe Stock, Castle by Pexels, Dragon by Elevit-Stock on DeviantArt blended together in Photoshop to create this final piece. I hope you like it! See more of my work Facebook.com/DalenaWatsonDesigns or Instagram.com/DalenaWatson Thanks!
I have always thought about creating a concept like this one above. It evolved as I thought about it more into the image I created. It was a nice challenge to create for myself. Thinking about to shoot the necessary frames and how to edit it correctly to make this concept to life. I want to keep challenging myself to create composite, surreal images like this for different concepts.
I created a blog post sharing how I created this image from start to finish. Read the blog post, here.
