When I walk around, there are always things that catch my eye. It’s usually colours, shapes, shadows, how the light falls in a certain way. That’s how I got into photography. I wanted to learn how to capture those things, moments. Learn how to do it in a visually interesting way. Because taking a photo of an interesting subject is one thing, but taking a captivating photo is something else. So I “borrowed” my dad’s dusty Nikon & started taking classes & workshops. Ten years and 3 cameras later, I’m still in love with the art.
I’m curious. Photographers, what made you start to photograph?
Photography helped me a lot through my depression. It motivated me to get out and do something on days when I otherwise would have just sat around my room spiraling into a worse and worse place. Im in a better place now but photography was one of the things that helped me the most through some of my shittiest times.
