Good Enough is Perfectly Fine (a few lessons) It’s Saturday morning and I’m breaking my rule of not working weekends, but my boundary is that I’ll only do it for 1 hour and I’m just here to get my 1,000 words in today. I’ve heard people say before that when they write or give advice, they’re talking to themselves most of the time. Remi...

Yes, it’s supposed to be blurry. Self-care has been a major focus for me over the last few years. Not just because of the ‘unprecedented times’ we all found ourselves in during 2020, but because I am a type-A recovering burnout champion who loves her work and is wired to overdo it at the first opportunity available. Like you (probably)...

My new site is live now, check it out at www.lindaradosinska.com I’ve probably created 10-15 sites over the last 12 years, and over time I have created a process that is quick, efficient and works for me, so let's take a look at how I do it. STEP ONE: What do you need to build? What does it need to do and what do you want it to look li...

I moved to Melbourne 4 years ago, and it goes without saying that a lot has happened in the time. To say that I am not the same person I was then, is to wildly understate the amount of growth, evolution and change I have experienced since I arrived. As photographers, we have the privilege of capturing and documenting the passage of tim...

When I Grow Up 2016-2017 Back in late 2015, I created a project I called 'When I Grow Up' that was designed to teach 4-9 year olds about basic workplace health and safety. The objective was to give them a general awareness of WHS so that when they entered the workplace as young adults [high risk workers], they would be familiar with so...

Self-portrait 2024 Last week I talked about what gear and settings I use when shooting clean and simple portraits, as well as lighting considerations and my approach in general. Today I'm going to talk about the last part of the process - editing my images in Photoshop. This won't be a long post because these days I don't actually do t...

Growth vs Creative Risk by Me I don't really know how to start this post. It's complicated and deep, so let me just throw some ideas around until I've said everything I need to. • Creative risk is essential to growth. • Your projects may not get off the ground at all if you don't take enough risk, or they could burn to the ground if yo...

Self-portrait (2021) I'm going to shoot some new portraits for myself this weekend! So let's take a look at how I'm going to do it...

Canon M50 mk ii I’ve been a photographer for 13 years now, but over the last few years, the amount of shoots I’ve done annually has dwindled into the single digits. It’s true that my work has evolved and expanded into other mediums, but the sad reality is that what once filled whole weekends, and most weekdays, has now become a rare oc...

My usage stats the night before I switched to a dumb phone (to be fair, I was also recovering from a severe case of COVID that week, but still..😵💫) On Christmas Eve in 2022, I pulled out the sim card in my iphone and put it inside a brand new 'dumb phone'. A lot of people ask me why and how I did it, so let's do a quick overview of wha...

Photos by Jeremy Tritt In 2017, I gave a TEDx talk. You can watch it here. Last year, I created an online course on public speaking, so I took a trip down memory lane as I reflected on the whole process. Here is a brief run down of 10 things I learned from doing a TEDx talk. 1. Your life won’t change Like other mythical goalposts in li...

6 September 2023 - Self-portrait inspired by Steven J M. At the end of last August, I bought myself an iPad Pro with the intention of teaching myself to draw, before showcasing a set of images at a pre-release exhibition 3 months later. I'll talk more about the exhibition at a later date, but since I am still relatively new to the worl...

Personal projects are hard. There is no one to push you to meet the arbitrary deadlines you set for yourself, and they require a level of commitment that is almost impossible to fathom for the uninitiated. And, they are necessary. They are necessary for your growth and evolution as a person and as a professional. Also, a human being is...
