Dreamy, soft, whimsical, magical…all words which describe photographs that many of us are attracted to and want to hang on our walls. I see these pictures in blogs on a daily basis and receive questions about how I get the dreamy tones and colours in my own photography. Chantelle of Fat Mum Slim shared some of her “dreamy” picture secrets this week and I have shared some of mine here too.

I like creating photographs full of soft light, faint colours and mellow tones. I don’t always achieve the look I’m after but it’s what I envisage when I shoot with my Polaroids and 35mm cameras.

I find brainstorming words and ideas always helps me when I’m planning out a shoot, a piece of writing or even a blog post. I always get my students to brainstorm a word bank when I’m helping them plan out their writing. So let’s make a list!

What makes a dreamy photograph?

I want you to add some of your ideas as well so we can have a great, big list of words to inspire our dreamy photograph taking. What words do you think of? You need not add anything but a single word if you like.

p.s. Have a great Easter break. Don’t eat too many choccies!
