I used to be a “photographer”📸✨

Before I went off to college, I desperately wanted to be a photographer, so I spent a good portion of my teen years taking photos and posting them online. Unfortunately, I ended up choosing a business major and slowly lost my free time and interest. Hoping to get back into it some day, but for now I can reminisce.🖤

Swipe to see some of my favorites!💫

Many aspiring photographers face a similar journey, balancing their passions with life’s responsibilities. Photography isn't just about taking pictures; it's about expressing yourself and capturing moments that tell stories. Whether you're a veteran or a newbie, there are countless resources and communities to reignite your passion for photography. Consider exploring various photography styles, such as portrait, landscape, or street photography. Engaging with online platforms like Pinterest or Instagram can provide endless inspiration. Furthermore, take advantage of photo editing apps to refine your work and ensure your images resonate with your audience. Understand that the world of photography is more than just technical skills; it's about understanding light, composition, and perspective. Workshops and online courses can elevate your understanding and skills in this art form. Remember, every photographer starts somewhere—embrace your journey, and keep experimenting!

Why I gave up photography 📸

For 15 years I was a full-time photographer! I spent every day in front of the setting sun, and all night in front of my computer.

Life of Being A Photographer

Sometimes I think the life of seeing colors, I simply just think visuals everyday of how to convey a message, a sense of feeling, and belonging but with every photo comes a story of what it takes to be yourself vulnerably. #photographylife #photos #fyp #explore #colors
