A busman's holiday? Or just a photographer being a photographer? 📸
I was in Tarragona last week with my camera, of course.
And somewhere between exploring the beautiful streets, listening to the waves, eating my way around the city and stopping to notice all the little things that caught my eye, Sarah and I found time to do some brand photography.
We photographed each other, played with the light, found some lovely spots and came away with photographs that feel like us.
Which got me thinking about how much I love this part of photography. Not just the planned shoots, the shot lists and the carefully considered locations, but the moments when you see something, have an idea and think, ooh, that looks beautiful!
And then you make it happen.
Of course, I also came home with approximately seventeen hundred photographs of anchovies, local vermut, architecture, street details and things I want to remember.
So was it a busman's holiday?
Possibly.
But when you love what you do, sometimes it's just a lovely excuse to do a little more of it.
Here are a few of my Tarragona favourites. Some are work, some are play, and some are simply things I wanted to photograph because they made me happy.
And honestly? That's my favourite reason to pick up a camera - capturing the joy in the little things, and finding ways to remember what it feels like to be there, really present, enjoying it all.
