My Journey in Photography
This blog is my personal experience on how I found photography and what it means to me. Some of these things that I discuss may help you in your photography beginnings.
I found my love of Photography about a year ago, so here is the story. It all started when myself and my classmates where given a task to raise money by creating a stall of our own choice and interests, my
partner (@photography_l.v) and I decided to create a stall with postcards and
hot beverages. The postcards were photos that we went and took, to make our
postcards special and unique. From then on, I have grown my interest and
improved in my photography, I have learnt new techniques and ways to create better photo results in this year period of photography.

My Progress
It feels like its been years since I started sharing my photos with you guys, but in reality, its only been three months! Which isn’t very long since I’ve really wanted to improve my photos, and wow, I’ve done heaps in that three months to improve. Got a better camera, learnt different techniques and one of the biggest things is growing my interest and giving myself constructive feedback.
I created my Photography account in mid-April 2020, I posted my first photo of a flower I took at my grandparents. This account was created during Covid-19 to give me another thing to do, and because it was a hobby I enjoyed and would like to pursue, I figured why not make an account to share my pics with you guys. And I feel that this has helped me in my photography so that I can see that photo didn’t seem to take off, so I thought maybe the next could be a bit more in focus and maybe it could be an interesting object that will catch someone's eye.
If you are a photographer like me and want to improve in your photography there are lots and lots of ways you can do this. For example, I started of just taking photos of simple things like flowers and plants and that is a great way to start off. Nature photography is one of the best ways to start your photography flow, and then maybe later try to expand your variety and skills in what you take photos of. For an example I have just
started taking photos of insects and animals they aren’t the best but that is because I’m still trying to get better at that type of photography. So its good to just play around with cameras and camera settings to see what is best for you.
Photography is all about finding your way of explaining yourself and your creativity and especially your style, that is one of the most important things. Doing that and not worrying about how many follows or likes that you have doesn’t matter because photography is about the content and what you love. I mean its great when you reach a high amount of follows or likes, but that cant consume you to think that you have to change your way of photography just to have more status, because that would mean that it’s not you who’s taking that image, no, instead it’s the you that wants all the follows and likes not what the image means to you personally.
So that’s it, that is my journey in photography….so far! I hope that you enjoyed reading this and took something out of it.
