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?
When I was much younger, there was a really silly social media called Piczo, and you could link all your friends on the side.
It would just be a giant photo album, and you’d post all your photos and friends on there.
Some kids linked me on theirs, but I wouldn’t have called myself their friend, and I was quite jealous they had all these photos, and I didn’t really have any.
I took up photography in Uni, and it just kept going.
