Photographers Create Beautiful Autumn Mood Photos

November 30, 2020

It’s feeling like Autumn in the UK at the moment and we’re loving watching the leaves shift into yellows and reds. The Autumn mood is here! This week we wanted to see all of your magical images that celebrate this beautiful vibrant season!

We asked you to share with us your favourite autumnal themed shots and you did not disappoint! All of these orange and golden hues are really getting us in the mood for the cosy colder months ahead.

Scroll through for forests, witches, antlers, elves, berries and pumpkins galore!

Thank you as always to everyone who submitted, we really enjoy seeing all of your creations and can’t wait to see what you show us in the next challenge!

So I called this series Season of the Witch. We all love Autumn but on the other side of the world it’s Spring! I tried to mash the two seasons together in this. I used Orange Dahlia from The Color Lab! but haha, maybe it’s just more spring.

Two years ago I went to visit Valeria Forno Photo in her magical land, surrounded by woods of gold and bronze on a pristine midautumn day.
I was wearing an elven outfit, which I had made taking inspiration from the character of Finduilas Faelivrin, from Tolkien’s Silmarillion, whose second name means “The gleam of the Sun on the pools of Ivrin”; I love the way light drapes around the sleeves, enhancing pale shades of gold on the sateen. I feel Valeria caught the beams of sunlight through the leaves in such a poetic way, that I can still breathe the scent of the underwood and hear the soft crackling of fallen leaves beneath my feet.

These aren’t strictly autumn, they were part of a shoot to create a front cover image for the Lammas edition of a magazine, but were supposed to show the fading/end of summer and the harvests gathered so still apply to now.
I think we actually shot in the spring but I just really love how the photographer and editor, Lydia Bennett (who I’ve known since the first day of school!), gave it the feel of the changing of greens into warm tones as the seasons transition.
I was also pleased with the props I managed to gather together to set the scene, many of which had to be eaten afterwards!

Fall feelings with this #bellakotakchallenge!
I see them as forest gods overseeing the seasons…or just judging us, either works.

I love creative challenges, it is the best way to develop and I took this picture a couple of years ago. I made some mistakes back then that I did not know how to save in photoshop but now I have learned more and since I do not have time to go out and take photos before the challenge is over, I tested to see if I could do something with this.

It’s a bit hard to go back to old work and see all the mistakes you have made, but it’s also fun to see what development has taken place.

This is my autumn queen! I love autumn and in Sweden the trees become so incredibly beautiful, I just wish they could last longer.

A “hanfu” (historical Han clothing styles of China) portraiture shoot I did a few years back with a friend. We were inspired by the mystical legends and magic of fairies, thus a butterfly fairy was coined.

**Jana Blank**
*Autumn. My favorite season .*

**Joel Robison**
Last week my little mountain town was covered in a veil of forest fire smoke, when it faded it seemed to take summer away with it and left behind the first touches of autumn, my favourite transition between seasons.

*Tatiana Pimentel and I are making it our mission to take as many witchy, fall photos as we possibly can!*

**Katharina Gottschlig**
I love autumn and that’s why I have a lot of costumes made especially for this season, warm cozy. This is one of my outlander inspired gowns. I never thought that I would adore orange so much. The picture reminds me a little bit of red riding hood but this wasn’t our intention The evening before the shooting I said to Linda: wouldn’t it be cool to have a irish wolfhound on the pictures? So I asked a Berlin group and Silke came with her three beautiful and lovely dogs. They are such a kind breed.

I love, love, love the colors and mood of autumn, and from September on, almost all of my photos are edited in warm autumn tones. So, it is hard to choose one for the #bellakotakchallenge … But here I loved the big golden heart-shaped leaves and backlight.

I shot my beautiful friends Heather Mcknight a couple of years ago and decided to use my newest skills to re edit this image. I added the painterly backdrop by combining different free web images from old paintings. I used Stranger Tones Strange Magic from the Color Lab and Garden of Life from their Flora Collection to color tone. I hope you love it as much as I do. I know she is going to be thrilled with the new edit.

I rarely like Autumn as a season boasting with colour, and those were actually shot at the end of Summer, but this model to me is Autumn herself…

Happy Autumn Equinox!
This wonderfully written caption is by my bestie and mentor of which I felt should be shared with the image.
“The French-born novelist Anais Nin penned “you do not see the world as it is, you see it as you are.”
Do I extend adequate time into the self-governance exercise of seeing the real-time feedback my reality is showing me?
Life is the by-product of what I hold in my mind. My mind is ever so brilliant and I have the ability to substantiate any evidence I require to confirm the predominant beliefs I have made agreement with to live by. I shape and reshape my world continuously. … So, what do my thoughts look like when they come forth from my person???
The more cluttered my mind, the more complicated everything seems. The more intention I place into choosing ease within my mind and not jumping on the bed with the passel of monkeys, the less adversity I experience in those shifts of awareness!
Thus, the by-product is either a living, growing lush landscape or one of negative stagnation and death!
I examine my thoughts to improve my conditions!
The cynic will find this unwelcoming, the optimist will recognize the opportunity to course correct and BLOOM!
ALL Love to you dear ones this exquisite autumn equinox.” – Lilly B. Haven
