Episode notes
Our first guest from Italy, Valeria aka "The Lady and the Bow" on social media, joins me!
I had stumbled across Valeria's account on Threads, where she mentioned she loved The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit. That's usually enough for me. I popped over to her Instagram account and found beautiful and inspired photography, cool looks, and I knew I had to follow for more. After really enjoying her content, I asked her to be a guest, and here she is!
We have a wide ranging conversation that goes across a number of topics. We talk about Cottagecore and what draws her to that style and look. Valeria talks about color theory and how she chooses the outfits she wears. Plus, the ins and outs of taking this kind of photography.
Valeria tells us the backstory of why and how she got interested in creating this style of content, and what motivates her to continue doing what she does. We talk about her progression, and her inclusion of fairytales and myths into her work and posts.
We also talk about the work she creates that you can purchase at The Cottagecore Den.
