The Journey Begins: My First Steps into Photography

 The Journey Begins: My First Steps into Photography

When I was a kid, my mom used to help decorate parties and weddings. I would often find myself fascinated by the details—the way the flowers were arranged, the drape of the tablecloths, the twinkle of the fairy lights. However, I always thought the photographer was missing out on capturing these intricate details. I felt a tug towards the camera, believing that I could bring those overlooked aspects to life through photography.

As I grew older, I started helping others with party and wedding decorations. It was a natural progression from my childhood experiences, and I found joy in making events beautiful and memorable. However, my path was not straightforward. I tried going to school multiple times but never managed to finish. Life seemed to pull me in different directions, but my passion for capturing moments never waned.

Then, an opportunity arose that changed everything. My employer offered to pay for my online studies in digital photography which it started in November of 2022. It felt like a dream come true. I eagerly enrolled and began to immerse myself in the world of digital photography. The more I learned, the more I realized how deep my passion for this art form ran. I was not just taking pictures; I was telling stories, capturing emotions, and preserving memories.

In my excitement and newfound knowledge, I impulsively created my own photography website. It was a spontaneous decision that left me both exhilarated and terrified. I had no idea what to do next, but I knew I had to continue my journey. I committed myself to research and self-education, determined to become the best photographer I could be.

Today, I am still learning and growing in the digital photography world. Every click of the shutter, every editing session, and every new technique I master brings me closer to my goal. My journey is far from over, but I am excited for every step along the way.
