Hrafntinnusker, Central Highlands of Iceland © 2016. I love shooting the sun when it's low enough contrast to do so. Thick even cloud allow the sun to become a perfect circular disc, which isn't what happens when the cloud is uneven. I have found that shooting the sun this way has become a motif of mine over the years.

This is not encouragement for you to also adopt the sun as motif in your work. More a case that you should review your work to find out if you have repeating themes, or certain elements that you are drawn to.

This is the way forward for tapping into one’s own genuineness.

If you find such things in your work, then acknowledging them is the first step. Once we are aware of the things we are drawn to, we give ourselves permission to run with them more, and to recognise them more when we encounter them.
