Hello!

Welcome to my website! I'm Kathryn and I blog about  fusing Vintage and modern Fashion together to create a unique style. I am also passionate about slowing down the fast fashion industry  and hope to encourage others to do likewise through my posts showcasing  my personal style through the vintage and upcycled items that I have sourced.  I have now added a SHOP section to my website where you can purchase lots of sustainable goodies from clothing to china and everything in between! Through my upcycling  posts and crafted items I hope to encourage all of you to be mindful about what you throw away and to see that almost everything can be reused and made fresh and unique again through a little imagination.   I also blog about maintaining a healthy mental attitude through positivity and being mindful of how unique we are as individuals.

An example of a photographic background,this one a white wall taken in August and edited with effects. Nice for a "One off" but not too heavy with this type of editing

Hello again Folks, today I want to talk about photographic background use. Yes , very important if you want that "One in a million" photo that will launch your account on to a higher level. Most average accounts on Instagram pay no real attention to background. They can be average to atrocious for example where a photo is taken amidst the chaos of an untidy kitchen. No one wants to see photos of that quality.

In my own photos I have used a variety of backgrounds but I now need to "up" my game and go further afield and vary them by introducing new ones to my page.

I have found it a lot more difficult during the winter to explore and find more interesting backgrounds.  The weather in Ireland this winter has been one of the wettest in history so it was much easier and simpler to go to the "Safe haven" of the concrete wall near my house and across the road to the leafy laneway at the back of my neighbours houses.

However, I have noticed that the last ten photos of mine really need an injection of a brighter and more interesting background as these ones are wearing thin. So I've decided to brave the elements and go adventuring for more interesting ones.

Hope this article has been helpful for anyone out there looking to improve their Instagram game.

Talk again tomorrow.  Love Violinkit XXX

One of the backgrounds I already mentioned in my post. Nice but I've over used this one. Time to seek out new ones. x
