Good morning, how are we all? 


I feel as though I have been slightly MIA recently, as I had been using the summer to write a lot of blog posts, and have them all scheduled ready, so I haven't 'needed' to write a blog post in quite a while. Nonetheless, it feels great to be back in the blogging saddle, bringing some extremely exciting new ventures to my little spot in the internet world. Let's begin...

You are probably wondering how on earth my £150 Nikon camera has managed to capture these insane shots, but in actual fact my poor little camera has been very much out of action. A few weeks ago, I managed to survive the experience of my first fashion shoot. The lovely Mike from Now Photography (link to his site here) took some shots of me for the blog, and after 4 hours of shooting I could not be more thrilled with the results. I have an adventurous aim of trying to improve my blog, and to be a lot more creative with it. So I decided to take the mighty step of finding someone to take pictures of me, with a much better camera and photography skills than I could ever personally achieve. 

Admittedly, I was incredibly nervous about the shoot, as I had not been in front of a professional camera before with the limelight solely on me. The nervous excitement was completely overwhelming, but on the morning of the shoot I directed all of my energy towards the excitement and general positive thoughts about the day ahead. So I sat with my Costa latte in pure excitement, and before I knew it, I was in front of that lens, strutting my stuff and 'trying' to look like a real-deal blogger.


Initially, I was most apprehensive about the fact I would be standing in the middle of a town centre, awkwardly posing for this huge camera whilst being watched by the inquisitive stare of the British public. To my surprise, I found it far easier to blank out the poising eyes and focus primarily on the camera and learning first-hand how to pose. So, if you are considering having a photo shoot but are worried about feeling uncomfortable, I would definitely say that it isn't half as scary as you are imagining, and I felt far more comfortable and less self-conscious than I anticipated. Having a good photographer that you feel comfortable with is also a primary factor to ensuring you can perform well, and I would definitely say that it made the experience much easier because of the fact I felt comfortable and relaxed with Mike behind the camera.

In terms of posing, I would say this takes time to perfect. Learning what looks best is a particularly personal thing, as you may have a favourite side of the face, and different features that you want to enhance most. Discovering this will allow you to improve your poses, so just take the time to figure these things out - I definitely have a lot more practising to do before I have even the slightest clue of what to do, but its enjoyable to learn for sure!!



I hope you liked this weeks post, as I am going to be blogging this way a lot more in the future. I will see you next week for another blog post. If you want to find me on Instagram, just search angelhowarth

| Does The Internet Influence Your Mental Health? | 26/12/17 |

A F T E R N O O N | SHOP MY OUTFIT: | COAT:  New Look | TEE:  Reserved | TROUSERS:  New Look | TRAINERS: H&M  | The internet is such a strange world, and it is in fact its own world - so far from reality yet so close, it redefines society conceptually to be honest. The internet can bring such wonderful things into the world: the announcement of a new baby, an endless supply of fashion inspiration, the top news at the fastest rate, and so many amazing memories and conversations can be shared between the beautiful people on this planet. The internet is an extraordinary place, and even more so as someone who has grown up in this time of technology. I bloody love the internet and all it brings to the world, I honestly think the internet is such a great platform for humanity to connect, share and create. However, I have been wondering my mind recently, quite intently, and have found myself shying away from the internet, and social media platforms. Despi...

| First Year Away From Home | 26/09/17 |

So for today's post, I am marking the end of my first year living away from home. It has been a crazy and wonderful first year experiencing the world from my new home away from my family, and I really have enjoyed every minute of it. Therefore, I deemed it was necessary to pop up a blog post so that I can reflect back to this day, and to remember the joyous first year away from home. This time last year... Despite the fact it doesn't even seem like all that long ago I was living back at home, getting my dinner cooked for me and my washing done, I do believe I have learned a great deal in this time. From learning to cook (a bit) to managing my time between social time, uni work and housework, it has all been such a great experience. I have become incredibly independent, and it is something I feel as though I have taken to really well, I love being independent and making my own way around the world. Learning to be brave and manage adult tasks has been interesting, and I ...

| Let Yourself Grow | 14/07/17 |

Morning everyone.  As the summer months are passing us by, I challenge you to stop and think, for almost a mid-year reflection. What have you achieved this year? How many times have you stepped out of your comfort zone and pushed the boundaries? Is there anything you have managed to do this year that you never thought you could?  It is so important for us to occasionally pause from our busy schedules that never naturally give us a breather, and to take an alternative perspective on our every move in order to reflect on whether we are allowing ourselves to grow. To become a better version of ourselves, with more experience, deeper emotions, and fonder memories.  Today, I aspire to use this blog post to share my own reflection, and the way I am truly feeling in the midst of 2017. Having this platform to share my thoughts is becoming such a great ordeal for me, to be able to express myself in a way I wouldn't usually, and to have a sense of purpose to my life that...
