I want to understand the fascination some people have with this theme. How did you started with it? Is it a Hobby or your Job? I am not a native speaker, still learning english, so sorry for mistakes.
I was working in a very tough industry working with some pretty traumatizing stuff. I use photography to inject joy and color directly into my brain to give me dopamine and chase away the demons lol
I stick with it because it genuinely gives me joy to show people how gorgeous they are and accentuate their natural features with just a little bit of lighting and knowledge on how to pose. People leave my sessions feeling good about themselves and keep getting compliments once they use my images.
i was studying fine art and wanted to learn something that i could be employed at. although i love it for its artistic merits i chose to focus on it because it could pay the bills. this was in the 80’s. my first job was at the one hour photo in the mall and i have been working in photography for the past 40 years.
I like how it shows me perspective and helps me appreciate the moment.
How you can make your own little world in a small frame, you can make photos that look like they were taken on another planet, in another universe, etc. I love fantasy and just very avant garde type of photography and it’s always so fun to have creative liberty on what I’m making
It’s art with real life as the canvas
