Luxury accommodation on the Orkney Isles

Luxury accommodation on the Orkney Isles

by Margaret Soraya | Feb 13, 2018 | Recommended, Scottish accommodation, Scottish Islands

It’s the little touches that matter. And the Quoy of Houton is not short of them. I decided to spend a week of the Christmas  holidays on an island. It didn’t really matter which island. I just wanted to be somewhere remote and interesting. I’m not a fan of the...
What to see in Orkney in just one day

What to see in Orkney in just one day

by Margaret Soraya | Sep 7, 2016 | Scottish Islands, Travel

I am a regular visitor of the Western Isles of Scotland but have never managed to get to Orkney before. A wedding booking changed that last weekend and I had the opportunity to photograph the wedding in the stunning St Magnus Cathedral. In 13 years of photographing...

My specialty at the moment is putting weight on wi My specialty at the moment is putting weight on without even eating 🙂 But I have learned never to let how I look stop me from showing up. It's been a long process of self-acceptance - why does it only really happen as get older though? I'm no longer worried about going live with no make-up, having slept in my van for days, being photographed in a wetsuit or swimsuit without the "perfect" figure. We need more imperfect ( normal ) women showing up happy as they, illuminated by what they love rather than by make up or fancy clothes that hide their imperfections. We need to be teaching our young girls to love themselves as they are and that beauty comes from someone lit out by doing what they love. #selflove #perfectlyimperfect #dowhatyoulove
My creative brain has been pushed aside this week My creative brain has been pushed aside this week by admin, planning and housework. I long for the creative spark to allowed total freedom again. But I know it’s all about seasons. Seasons of work, of rest, of family time. I know that the creative side will take over when it has space again. Usually on a trip away. And this is why I schedule and plan these trips into my year. I remember being told by @segeriusbruce to plan my year on a big piece of paper. So that’s what I do. I have times where I’m running workshops/ times when I’m home working on the business side and times which are dedicated to travelling and creating freely. As long as that year is balanced it all adds up to a good life. So I’m heading for some exciting trips and time off in June which will make the hard work done at home in may all be worth it. Do you plan your creative times? If not, start now! #creativeretreat #tiree #scottishislands #timealone #creativityforlife #landscapephotographer
2 new online courses are now available! Link in Bi 2 new online courses are now available! Link in Bio. The first is all about how to boost your presence in a cohesive way online as an artist or mall business owner. The second is for those who are intimidated by camera technicals and want to go through things in a friendly environment. Both I feel passionate about teaching others. So get in touch soon as my courses tend to sell quickly. Hopefully, we will meet on zoom! #learnphotographyonline #online course
My book design is through! It is such a special bo My book design is through! It is such a special book as my dear friend who I met at art college @chloe.heuch wrote the words for it. She is now a published author and talented writer. Her intro about me is so touching. She obviously knows me too well:-) Here is a section of it as a taster. The book will be available on my website in a few weeks, along with a calendar to match. "At art college, amidst the bustle and noise of many different personalities, Margaret Soraya stood out. It was her gentleness and stillness that drew me to her. It was also her quiet self-assurance. Margaret knew what she wanted to do. She wasn’t swayed or dazzled by college tutors or the other more extrovert students. She knew: Big canvasses and lots of oil paint. And always, always, the water" #lochness #scotishhighlands #lochnessbooks #lochnessmonster #photographybook
What do you do on those days when it all feels jus What do you do on those days when it all feels just a bit too much? Sometimes I just get through the day, sometimes I manage to get out walking which always helps. And the other times, it makes me so incredibly creative, it's almost worth feeling so dreadful! Adversity can be a powerful thing. Beautiful music by @blissbeginswithin
Taking a breath..... Ending season 2 of the podcas Taking a breath..... Ending season 2 of the podcast today! Link in Bio & stories. I started the podcast in lockdown and it has led to so many lovely conversations and new friends. I love it so much and am incredibly proud of it. Time to take a breath and record new episodes this summer now. Talking about topics that inspire and help others... if you know someone who would fit the conversation let me know! I am looking now for guests. #podcast #photographypodcast
