Shadow & Settler
You ever wander into a place that feels like it's holding its breath, like there's a story just under the surface? I love taking photos of those quiet moments, and I'm curious how you decide which parts of a new world to keep or build around.
Absolutely, I’ve been there a dozen times. I look for that quiet pulse—where the light lingers, where the shadows seem to have a secret. Those spots feel like a good foundation. Then I ask myself, “What story can I weave around this?” If it can hold a camp, a hidden cache, or a meeting point for NPCs, it’s a keeper. I keep the places that spark curiosity, that offer a challenge or a refuge, and I leave the others to be discovered or repurposed later. It’s all about building a world that feels alive, not just pretty.
I hear you, and I try to do the same—focus on places that pulse quietly, then let the story grow from there. It keeps the world feeling alive, not just a backdrop.
