About

Welcome to FlowerFolio.

Hiya! I’m Nat. Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. Photographer of many things. Reader of many things. Writer of many terrible things. I also love coffee, roadtrips, jazz, and flowers. Hence, FlowerFolio.

I started FlowerFolio in 2014 not really knowing what I was doing. I still don’t. I had a samsung smartphone and a wordpress.com site. I took a wild leap, only knowing I loved taking photos of flowers (nothing on the macro shots I now take). It’s been a fascinating journey, though at times (MANY times) I’ve wanted to pull my hair out (lenses are expensive, photography is not especially lucrative, and I don’t have website or design skills). It’s taken me a long time to get to where I am currently as an artist, but over the years I’ve realised at my core is a need to tell stories here. Elsewhere, at work and at uni, and doing unpaid gigs too, I’m about giving to others and creating positive change.

This photoblog, FlowerFolio, is where my creative soul comes alive. It’s a place where I can share photos and words that tell meaningful stories. I’ve also set up a second part, The Social Studio, which is where my love for helping others comes in. It’s a place for thinking through and creating dialogues about how we need to change the way we use social media tools, both as people and as marketers.

FlowerFolio is a collection of visual storytelling. It represents something of the beauty and wildness of human life. It’s my diary, my filters and lenses, my musings, of how I view my world. It’s creative, experimental, and original.

FlowerFolio has also evolved into something else. It’s really about how we can showcase human lives, lived both offline and online, with integrity, and thus well lived. To find out more about the Ethical Principles that underpin the FlowerFolio business practice, see here.
