YouTube: Learning by Listening
When I’m editing my photos, I love having a small YouTube window open, listening to photography content while I work.
Recently, I've been following Luke Cleland, a talented wedding photographer. His videos not only show the creative side of wedding photography but also dive deep into the practical experience behind every beautiful shot. Listening to his advice has opened my mind to new approaches and techniques, especially for weddings and couple sessions.

Instagram: A Visual Playground for Inspiration
Since photography is such a visual art, Instagram has always been a huge source of inspiration for me.
One of the photographers who has truly motivated me is Marina Williams. Her breathtaking work, creative posing ideas, and consistent storytelling through photos push me to keep improving my own style. Following her journey reminds me that with passion and persistence, growth is always possible.

A few years ago, Brandon Woelfel was another major inspiration for me. His dreamy, colorful style captivated me completely, and I often found myself trying to recreate some of that magic in my own sessions. Recently, he shifted his style in a new direction, which isn't entirely my personal taste—but what keeps me following him is the way he now focuses more on education. Brandon shares a lot of behind-the-scenes insights and tips, and even if my visual style has evolved differently, I still find his content incredibly valuable for learning and creative thinking.
Whether it’s podcasts filling my workdays, YouTube videos running during editing sessions, or Instagram creators filling my feed with new ideas, I believe in staying constantly inspired. Photography is a journey of growth, creativity, and connection—and I’m grateful to keep learning from some of the best along the way.
