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’ve always liked art but I have a science brain so it’s the only artistic medium I’m naturally good at.

For personal photos, I love recording memories in that medium, draws me back into whatever was happening or whatever I was doing at the time.

For client/photos of others, I just really enjoy the reaction people have to a good photo of them doing something really cool or looking really good. It’s a nice feeling to be able to give someone the same experience I have when I take photos for myself.

Also it’s just fun, I love collecting gear, I love the color and light science stuff, it’s one of the few things I can obsess over in terms of learning new techniques, researching new or experimental gear, and its just a really easy way to say “I wonder what would happen if I did this?” And being able to produce something.

I love photography because I can show other people the world as I see it.

It’s art with real life as the canvas

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

I like how it shows me perspective and helps me appreciate the moment.

Photography

Create post

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
