Why is photography a good hobby?

One thing about pictures is that they can communicate messages without the need of words to explain further. I have come to enjoy photography as a hobby in college because it is my way of disconnecting form college pressures. Photography has helped me capture moments important to remember. Photography can also help you relieve moments from just glancing at the pictures again. The sounds, the feelings and everything involved with that picture can help you remember.

Memories can be relived in viewing a picture.

Types of Photography

-Nature Photography

-Wedding Photography

-Street Photography

-Travel Photography

There are various types of photography and each photographer has a style they follow to make them unique. I am learning about different types but will eventually want to focus on one type to create a signature for myself.

My Journey

I started noticing my passion for photography when I was in high school and this is when I received a new phone. I would try different apps to edit and also take pictures that were really cool. From then I started naturing the thought and when I moved to the United States, I bought a camera and started practicing with one of my friends who also uses me as a model for his work. I enjoy it and it is a hobby I am glad I took a look into.

Inspiration

I found my grandmother’s photo album which had a lot of pictures which portrayed a lot of memories and people we were not able to see and this inspired me to want to capture more amazing moments to add to the archive of pictures she had.
