Well here goes nothing. Finally trying to quell my fears and just going for it. Commissions open!!! See image for details, but please feel free to reach out to me if your interested or have questions. I adore a challenge and you'll get progress pics along the way! Simple backgrounds only for now, usually a complimentary color or a pattern that fits.

I am mad about cellphone cameras hiding the processing they do, and I am glad about software that lets me control it and opt in and out, and I dictated this rant on insta so I am resharing the images here and will attempt to turn this into a useful text post on my blog in future, when my hand is working better 🤘👍

Here's the website for the app I'm getting so much good use out of: https://opencamera.org.uk/

And here's a big dump of photos from it!

[shelandsorcery]

and here's an example of exactly how much this means to me -- I've been really feeling like I'm terrible at photographing my own work, especially watercolour, and i can't seem to really capture what makes a painting special in person.

here's some examples of my attempts to photograph this sketchbook painting using the native camera app on my phone:

it's grainy, blotchy, the colours feel off, the contrast is too much... it really doesn't capture what's on paper in front of me!

so then i try with the processing turned off in Open Camera:

it's fucking night and day!

A clearer comparison for you:

jesus fucking christ what a game changer!

"content creator" is a corporate word.

This is probably a month in the making. I've been at it since late February 2024 and I am slowly nearing the end - just 2 more triangles to go (no, I'm not counting the 5 stitches on the 3rd triangle that need doing lol). I'm also in the middle of packing and moving so this has been fun 😆
