I’m Eleanore.

If you were to ask me to describe myself, I would struggle. I don’t like to fit myself into one label, as I’ve found it never fits quite right. I tend to call myself a 20 y/o creative with many passions. This blog is one of the ways for me to express all of those interests and facets of myself.

First of all, I’m a photographer.

I take mostly nature, landscape, and product photography. I like sharp photos with a vintage edge, and I strive for a dreamy, romantic feel to my photos. I’m currently looking to switch from Canon to Sony and aiming to go mirrorless.

I don’t take on clients at the moment, but I do want to sell my photos as background and stock photos and maybe work with a company or two along the way.

At the moment, I’m relearning how to use the tone curve and also trying to get into videography and colour grading.

I’m also a student.

I’m currently getting my BA in ancient history and archaeology. I don’t have specific career aspirations, but I’m passionate about conservation, reparations, and expanding people’s worldviews through history. I’m going into my second year at a school that I absolutely adore, and I can’t wait to be back there.

I tend to approach learning about history by trying to decolonize my worldview and challenge my thinking. When I learn about history, I want to also unlearn my biases and see history from a perspective different than the white man’s version. I’m still on this journey, and I hope you would like to join me as well!

Sometimes I write novels and short stories.

I lean towards SFF work, but I truly write a little bit of everything. I like character-focused stories with complex world-building. I’m definitely someone who prefers golden heroes and stories about gods and monsters, and I like a hopeful energy to my stories. I don’t tend to reach for anything dark, gritty, or depressing. I bring this to my writing as well, where a lot of my work tends to focus on questions about what it means to be a hero and what it means to be a good person.

I’ve been in the book community for close to eight years!

It’s so wild! I started posting bookish content when I was thirteen or so, and I’ve made so many wonderful friends in the community.

I tend to read fantasy and historical nonfiction, and I have a special place in my heart for fantasy novels that involve mythology or folklore. Novels that get the highest ratings from me tend to have romantic, character-focused elements, an expansive world, and a little bit of magic.

I’m a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

I’m a biromantic ace, and I use she/they pronouns. When it comes to my gender, I prefer just to let myself live as I am without trying to fit myself in a box, so I don’t usually use “nonbinary” or “trans” to describe myself. When pressed, I typically say I’m genderqueer!

This is my space, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I truly love to share my work, and I hope you love it too! Just know that my online sites are a safe space for everyone, and I won’t tolerate any level of transphobia, homophobia, racism, ableism, or any other form of discrimination.

I hope you like my work as much as I do!
