HELLO EMILIE
I don't know about where you are, but here in Derby, Derbyshire the weather is in a rather indecisive tizz, where it can't decide if it wants gale force winds, lashings of rain, a resolute ash grey sky or a mere hint of pale yellow sunshine. It feels like everything is stuck in this weird state of paralysis because no-one knows what to do or where to go, because the uncertainty and unpredictability is too high. So at the moment, we're currently taking comfort in the warmth of our house, drinking cups of tea, eating home-made lemon drizzle cake, laughing and listening to The Eagles. It's lovely, even if the weather is not quite so lovely. But to make it even more lovelier, I thought I'd share with you some photographs taken by one of my favourite Instagram photographers: Hello Emilie.
Emilie is an Australian photographer who takes the most tranquil, stunning, aesthetically pleasing, serene photographs of natural beauty. She somehow manages to discover these pockets of wonder found embedded in the world (or namely, the breath taking landscapes of Australian and New Zealand), and artfully depicts them through her camera lens. In the process, Emilie manages to capture these beautiful moments and natural architecture in all their perfection. or if it were even possible, adds another spark of magic and serenity to make these moments even more precious and heavenly. On her website, Emilie describes herself as a photo-creator, story-teller and wanderer, and I personally think that she is all those things and so much more. She emphasises using natural light and nostalgia, which she delightfully threads into her work, and aims to collate a narrative with her imagery, so that as a mere admirer you fully feel the awe, the beauty, the momentousness of the scene depicted, almost as if you were right there experiencing it all too.
As I previously mentioned, Emilie is one of my favourite photographers on IG, if not my favourite. I'm almost always on Instagram, and whilst I adore it as a social media platform, I feel the negative side-effects from it all the same. Everything is idealised and you can never quite tell what's real and what's fantasy. Yet with Emilie, her account always feels genuine, and like a celebration of the world and all things good. It's a source of inspiration and positivity, and a reminder of how much we have to be happy about in life, as should we try to share those beautiful moments with one another. Come together and help remind each other of all the goodness that still perseveres and triumphs. Emilie's photographs are a joy to see every day, and they always make me smile, and feel so appreciative to not only be alive, but be alive in a world filled with so much wonder and magic. Her photography is a gift, which is why I wanted to pass it onto you dear readers too, in the hopes that it brightens your day just like it always does mine.
All photography belongs to Emilie Ristevski. To find out more, head to...
