My Passion: Photography

One of my many passions is photography. I enjoy photographing various things. Nature, people, cars, or just random objects. I’m very interested in the world, having a way to capture a glance of it for a second means a lot to me. I like simplicity in things and finding ways to express myself. I love to take pictures of things that mean the most to me in my life or that, I believe, are just aesthetically pleasing, beautiful to the eye.
I don’t own a professional camera, so I use my iPhone. I know that sounds amateurish. IPhones don’t have the best quality, but it's all I have and I make it work. I’d like to save up enough money someday to buy an expensive, high-def camera.

One of my cousins, her name was Bobbi, had this style that I was interested in. She took, and still takes, pictures of simple things, yet edits them to enhance their effortless beauty. I really like having my own style with things, such as photography, and I thought that she really inspired me to get into taking pictures. She has her own style, and I want to have my own too. To share my style through photography, to display my preference to others with pictures, is and would be significant to me.
Like I had said, I like to express myself. Photography is one way I like to show my feelings. Photographing the seasons for example. All of the different seasons to me have different vibes, different feelings that make me have different emotions. In summer, the pictures I take have the pop vibe, warm, breezy, they show the summertime. In winter I love the snowflakes, the crisp air that comes from your breath the moment you step outside, the beautiful trees, sparkling with icy glitters. I enjoy capturing the most perfectly irrelevant things with my dull iPhone’s

    People have access to capturing special moments according to their preferences. However, not all the pictures can be listed under the artistic photography. Instead of taking images, photographers do make images, showing people light and shadow, color and outline, as well as personal contemplation and imagination. In addition, the process of turning negatives into photographic papers requires some technical supports to polish those images, such as the dye transfer and darkroom techniques. Telling its own story, photography describes the subject itself, then conveys the personal visual experience, and above all it can create the imagination and arouse resonance with audiences, finally moving it into fine…

    In today’s digital world, photographs are commonly described with rudimentary adjectives such as pretty, beautiful, or other well used terms to depict how they appeal to the viewer. Years ago, when the world appeared to spin a tad slower and life looked as if it were a little less complicated, people had more of an opportunity to look around and not only see, but feel the beauty of Mother Nature. One better known photographer of this time who portrayed not only beauty, but also emotion in his imagery was Ansel Adams. Adams was quoted saying, “A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.” Upon viewing the miraculous work of Ansel Adams, I discovered his statement to be true.…
