Trend: Light Patterns.

Another trend I've noticed, courtesy of my Inspiration Folder.

Beautifully filtered light, through objects such as lace, clothing, furniture and blinds.

Lovely subtle way of adding another dimension to a photo.

I love the varied use of this technique; both to soften or harden, boldly and delicately.

I simply adore Anne Menke's ladylike use of lace and Ida Bjorvik's strong vertical lines.

I'm in love with this trend!

Focus.

As you probably guessed from my Kaleidoscope post, I love double exposures.

Always have. Always will.

Whether they're done in camera or in post production. Soft or hard focus. Bright and bold or pale and desaturated. I simply love them.

They insantly add another dimension and emotion to an image.

There are so many ways you can play with double exposures. You can use overlay portraits, landscapes, textures or colours. You can apply them to a whole image, just over a face or a subtle hint in one area.

Show me a double exposure and it's guaranteed to inspire me.

Here's some I'm loving at the moment:
