Flow-tography:
8 Universal Archetypes of Beauty
Suzanne Merritt
"Flow-tography is the joyful experience of photographing the beauty of your life.
It starts with a simple idea."
Before you can photograph beauty you need to experience it. So the more deeply you experience a moment of beauty, the more likely you are to capture essence of that moment. Over the past 25 years Suzanne has figured out a few practices that can help you do this by choice rather than by chance.
