Oh wow, this was WELL done! I’ve lost my drive and mojo a little bit (worked in fashion photography in a big town, now I’m back in my hometown with no fashion jobs in sight), but this right here gave me some inspiration to find my place again in 2025!!
Aww thank you so much, so glad to hear! Sometimes you need to make space in your brain to be able to absorb new inspiration and the ideas and direction you want to go to creatively will follow!
Hahaha when I saw I went straight to google and found it on amazon. Everywhere on tiktok it said it was sold out but maybe I was lucky bc I am in the Netherlands. There are lots of alternatives tho!
Definitely! Especially for brand activations I am sick of seeing the same influencerd taking pretty pictures of themselves and it feeling generic. There are so many cool and local things brand can do and find real people that would love it!
Thanks for curating this list, sharing different perspectives, and writing your thoughts on 2025, Zoë, it's interesting what people are thinking/feeling. I resonate with your 'in' of "sharing your process online". I agree, it's refreshing to see the reality and the behind-the-scenes of what is involved in making something worthwhile. I'm also into Viktoriia's, "Digging through the archives for inspiration (bonus points if they are not digital)"...I'm a big fan of the library, diving into a book takes you to a different world.
Amazing read! 🤍

I am sad as all the planners sold out so going to make sure the one non messy thing I do in 2025 is pre-order one

You were lucky. I managed to get one but had to lean in on some serious contacts.
Love this! 100% aligned with this idea of niche as king - zines, local events etc. can’t fake authenticity in these spaces, which makes it hard!!
