The Photographer (And Fashion Designer) in Me Rejoices at Sunset

10/21/2015

0 Comments

 
My travel adventures have lately taken me to the coves of the Chesapeake Bay. And one cannot be surprised that great sunsets appear in the area almost every day. The water. The trees. The sky. The combination of these, while the sun is setting, is a sight not to be missed.

I love photography and often write about interesting photo exhibitions in the Washington D.C. area. I also enjoy taking photos of nature in my free time. While it is a way to capture the moment, it is also a great resource for me as a fashion designer. I will often click through my photo archives in search of a photo that could inspire a fabric pattern or a design detail.  

And sunsets are one of my favorite topics to capture on camera. Some of them are tender with hues of pinks and purples. Some of them are dramatic with an interplay of grey clouds and blackened landscape. Take a look below at a few photos I took not too long ago.

And then take a look below for examples of how fashion designers incorporate photography of sunsets in their fashion designs. These are literal interpretation printed directly on garments - they are interesting and eye-catching.

I believe that nature and our surroundings are a never-ending source of inspiration for creative endeavors. Do you enjoy photography? Are you drawn to a particular moment of day to capture? Let me know!

UPDATE (November 2, 2015): My photos got published on the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's website! Check out Sailing the Bay in the Photo of the Week post.
