A Brother And Sister Collaborate While Stuck at Home — And They Create Beautiful Photos Together
Inspired by Dayflash’s collab tools, a brother & sister use their time at home to collaborate — and improve their craft
Dayflash user samishams_ (Instagram username samishams_) is a photographer from London.
“I’m a night shift worker with a passion for photography, music and cars. My journey into photography has been a bit of an inconsistent one, but began when my mother bought me a camera age 6, for our road trip across the US.” — Sami, Dayflash user samishams_
Dayflash user poetess (Instagram username zcshams) is a writer from London.
“I am a writer from the UK, and I have recently started learning about photography in order to tell stories through new mediums. On Dayflash, I am able to combine poetry with photographs — and bring more meaning to my words.” — Zara, Dayflash user poetess
Check out samishams_ and poetess on Dayflash… and take a look at their collab requests…
“Zara (my sister) had been keeping an eye on my Dayflash profile since I joined, as she’s always looking for new creative outlets.. and having not lived together for almost 10 years we have found ourselves together during lock down, and with so many collaborations happening on Dayflash due to the new collab tools, we were inspired to collaborate.” — Sami, Dayflash user samishams_
The new collab tools on Dayflash inspired Zara and Sami to collaborate while stuck at home…
Check out these awesome photos that Sami captured of Zara from around their home…
“samishams_ has been teaching me how to combine drone photography with my love of portraits! spent days waiting for the sun to be just right for this one!” — Zara, Dayflash user poetess
“samishams_ and I were inspired by Dayflash users nathancheddar and saulswvy‘s recent collab to create this one! Photo by samishams_ and edited by me!” — Zara, Dayflash user poetess
“…another collab with samishams_ ! love the colours in this one 🌞 much sunnier!” — Zara, Dayflash user poetess
While practicing social distancing, collaborating with your close friends and family (along with doing online collabs), can be a great way to improve your craft and create new content — all from the comfort and safety of your own home!
“Sami has been incredibly helpful by teaching me how to use my drone — as well as the basics of lighting — which allowed me to take a self-portrait. Following this, I modeled for him for a portrait shot, which I then edited with his advice. It is wonderful collaborating the entire way through the process in this way.
As a relative amateur, the collab tools are important not only for collaborating: they also help me learn the art of photography from professionals. There are so many inspiring photographers on Dayflash, like Sami, who are teaching me so much every day!” — Zara, Dayflash user poetess
“The collaborative tools on Dayflash have been unbelievable for my development as a photographer, through learning new skills, as well as networking and creating new friendships.” — Sami, Dayflash user samishams_
Sami and Zara plan to continue using the new collab tools on Dayflash to more easily find the right people for their next collabs — while also using it to grow their network with new people who share their same passion.
Networking While Lining Up Collabs
Dayflash is a great place to find inspiration — and to grow your network — while lining up collabs for now (or for later). To line up collabs, simply use Dayflash’s collab tools to find people that you can collaborate with now or later, so that way you can fill up your schedule in advance with multiple collaborations with different people. The more collaborations you can plan, the more you can elevate your game as a creator.
How Can Dayflash’s Collab Tools Elevate Your Game?
Each new collab that you form can help you…
- reach new audiences on social media (through each other’s audiences),
- improve your skills and learn new skills (from one another),
- create more engaging content (that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to create on your own),
- and attract new opportunities with brands and creators.
