Reflections. Simple and (fairly) minimal to focus on the wildflowers, antique glass bottles and their reflections. #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #vintage #wildflowers #nature #buttercups #daisies

Wayside Flowers. This is very much a photo that changed a lot during concept and setup — originally the setup was going to be beach hut theme but somewhere along the way it morphed into a simpler standalone flowers-focused shot. #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #vintage

Lilac Time. The unseasonably warm weather we've been having has compressed the flowering times of everything into a much shorter period. Everything's going nuts! #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #vintage #lilac #flowers

Mid May Memories. Evoking a nostalgic & romantic scene where one senses not only a love of nature & quiet study, but also the presence, even if invisible, of a person who cherishes beauty, solitude & the richness of simple pleasures. #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #vintage

Echos of Spring. A more balanced and symmetrical shot today, suggestive of a quiet, romantic candlelit evening in early spring. The apple blossom lasts such a short time, it's a race to use it before it's over! #spring #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #vintage #appleblossom

Beltane Celebration. 2 days late but it's the closest weekend to Beltane. We're having an unseasonably warm & sunny spell & the weather’s been lovely, bringing out the apple blossom in glorious pink profusion. #beltane #pagan #druid #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #vintage

Tea for Two. A quiet, contemplative afternoon with tea and a vintage book. #spring #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #vintage

Spring in the Garden Shed. Pastoral rustic charm conjuring images of emerging life, earthy smells & the chaotic beauty of gardening in spring. Lots of carefully placed clutter here — elements chosen to evoke a strong sense of place. #spring #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic

For the Love of Bluebells. Antique silverware, china & table linen, antiquarian book & a super colourful vintage scarf! All built around blue & white to complement the bluebells which are super early this year. #spring #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #vintage #bluebells

Springtime. This was shot a few weeks ago when the snowdrops and aconites were still flowering. I've combined it with the view of a bright spring day to contrast with the early spring flowers. #spring #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic

thanks for 5,000 !!! here is another raffle: * follow me * repost this prize: one headshot ends: in one week!

Tea in the Study. Old leatherbound books and antique blue and white china lend an air of nostalgia, evoking feelings of comfort and tranquility. A welcome break from the trials and tribulations of the modern world. #spring #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #antiques

Spring Equinox Tea. We're just past the Vernal Equinox & spring’s official start. The wheel of the year spins on as the days get longer, trees burst into leaf & you can once again feel the warmth of the sun's rays. #spring #witchsky #photography #pagan #druid #cottagecore #aesthetic #vernalequinox

Spring Dreaming. Delicate spring flowers, an antique blue and white tea set, vintage hand-embroidered table linen and antiquarian books — very much my favourite aesthetic. #spring #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore #aesthetic #stilllife #topdown #vintage #antiques

Heavenly Hellebores. Such a stately and regal flower, the hellebore. The flowers' deep reds pair beautifully with rich red wine which, in turn, lends itself to a more classical style of still life. #hellebores #witchsky #photography #stilllife #cottagecore

St David's Day. By at least one definition, it can now be considered spring! We're also in the window of time when snowdrops & mini daffodils are flowering at the same time as the garden slowly comes to life with more and more early spring flowers. #stdavidsday #witchsky #photography #daffodils

Haven. Picture… a rustic cabin in a little clearing in the woods. Snowdrops carpet the woodland floor. You sit at your window, sipping fresh coffee, listening to birdsong & gazing out over a small stream. Nothing can intrude or disturb your little haven of peace & tranquility. #cottagecore #witchsky

A Promise of Spring? February, this year seems to have been unrelentingly dark & gloomy, I swear we haven't seen the sun for ages. Early spring snowdrops give much needed respite against the dark days, promising the return of the warmth & the light. #ukspring #cottagecore #snowdrops #wheeloftheyear

Candlelit Chronicles. Some late night correspondence by candlelight, fortified by brandy! Going for a strong Victorian aesthetic here, helped by the dark moody lighting. #victorian #stilllife #photography #steampunk #aesthetic #victoriana #cottagecore #romantic

Imbolc / Candlemas 2025. It may still be cold and the nights long, but snowdrops and periwinkles herald the promise of spring to come. So near and yet so far! #imbolc #candlemas #pagan #obod #druidry #wheeloftheyear #stilllife #photography #cottagecore #witchcore

Cosy Candlelit Coffee. A fantasy image inspired by the wonderful book ‘Legends & Lattes’ by Travis Baldree. I love the idea of found family coming together through a quirky fantasy-setting coffee shop. Finding props to try and emulate the concept was surprisingly tricky! #coffeecore #photography

Snowdrops — Whispers of Spring. It may be freezing cold, dark and damp, but the first snowdrops have emerged signalling that spring isn't too far away. #cottagecore #stilllife #photography #snowdrops #coffee #coffeecore #vintage #antiques

Winter's Afternoon Coffee. Another freezing cold and misty winter's day, here in the UK — taking comfort in salted caramel florentine biscuits and moka pot coffee. #stilllife #mokapot #coffee #cottagecore

Happy New Year 2025! It’s time to devour all the leftover Christmas food! In contrast to the previously posted warm-toned Christmas photos, this shot aims to capture a Nordic aesthetic. It features a birch wood background, birch candlesticks, evergreens, mince pies & a Stollen. #stilllife #humanart

A Taste of Christmas. Home made mince pies in an opulent setting. A more symmetrical shot than I usually take — it's interesting to play with where things are symmetrical and where the symmetry is deliberately broken to make the composition interesting. #dickensian #christmas #victorian

Winter Solstice 2024. Combining evergreen holly and ivy, homemade hand-dipped beeswax candles, glasses of white wine and a rustic leather bound journal to try and capture the spirit of the turning of the year. #wintersolstice #stilllife #obod #druidry #pagan #yule #longestnight

Pots and Pans and Coffee Fans. Lovely rich orange and red tones from the lamp-lit old copper pans complement the vibrant blues of the German pottery coffee set. Just as the colours complement each other, so do the coffee and home made chocolate brownies! #autumncore #cottagecore #coffeecore

It’s Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas… It’s not too early to start posting festive shots! Basically an excuse to eat the stollen bites early. I mean, they’re *open* now! The shot, as usual, is 3 blended exposures, manually blended with layer masks. #cottagecore #wintercore #knolling

Studying by Candlelight. Warm and cosy, sitting by the fire, reading late into the long autumn night by candlelight. A cup of strong tea and a comfortable safe haven from the stormy weather. #autumncore #cottagecore #autumnaesthetic #stilllife #photography

Victorian Gentleman's Study. Another shot featuring 'A great many things™!' Lots of antiques to represent an old fashioned Victorian gentleman's style of study or desk with leather bound books, brandy and pipe, and some lovely old vellum parchments. #cottagecore #stilllife #photography #victorian

I would like you, please, to sign this petition to ban driven grouse shooting. The first under a Labour government. 10k signatures gets a government response, 100k a debate in Westminster parliament. UK residents & UK citizens living abroad can sign. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

There are calls for the UK government to take a lead in tackling disinformation. As a nation we’ve been greatly affected by it. We need John Le Carre back with us.

Coffee & Copper. Also bronze and brass — all the copper alloys! Warm, rich tones from the metal complement the rich golden browns of coffee, with rustic stone and hessian continuing the theme. #cottagecore #barncore #autumncore #aesthetic #stilllife #photography

Harvest Bounty. August seems a distant memory now, the fields and hedgerows were laden with the bounty of season. Fields of golden wheat, trees full of cherry plums and bramble bushes covered in ripe juicy blackberries. #harvest #druidry #barncore #cottagecore

Coffee in the Barn. A rustic autumnal harvest scene with some nice rural props. I wanted to get my money's worth out of the pumpkin-like courgettes (not that I paid for them)! #barncore #autumncore #cottagecore #stilllife #photography #humanartist #coffee

Fruits of the Autumn. Guelder rose (Viburnum opulus) berries intersect with light in the most wonderful way, taking on a glow as they're very slightly translucent. However, they're an absolute pain to wrangle as they're very droopy as they naturally grow hanging down. #cottagecore #barncore

Serenity. I've had the idea for this image floating around in my head for ages. Shots like this are both easier and more difficult than my more traditional still lifes. Easier in that there are fewer items to arrange. More difficult in that the composition has to be much more precise. #coffeecore
