Why I Love Photography

There are many different reasons that photographers love photography. Almost always any individual photographer’s interest is a mixture of multiple aspects.

I love how photography makes me feel more confident about myself and my place in the world. Photography has helped me see new places, make new friends, discover unknown faces about myself. It has helped me make connections with the world, with people, and with myself. I love photography because it makes people happy.

Everyone has a story to tell about how they got into photography. This is my story. The passion for photography clicked in me when I was at age of 20's. I was never a professional photographer before, I started capturing some photos when I was at age of 25. I remembered that I started capturing some photos from nature. I really love to see those all photos in my gallery. And then I was become addictive in taking picture of mine. At those moment I was started knowing if how to enhance my picture, how to add some filter to make it nice or elegant looks. A lot of my friends empress to the photos I made. And there is a time also that they want me to edit there photos. I love photo editing so much.

In the age of 30, I returned to photography again. My appetite for photography became insatiable. I started clicking pictures of everything and everyone, reading all the books I could find on photography in the library, subscribing to photography blogs and soaking in the tips and techniques like there was no tomorrow. I experimented with different gradients of light, with light and shade, with black and white and color. I had my siblings and friends pose as models for me to try out different angles and settings. I took my camera on every outing I went to and tried different styles and genres of photography.

So why do I love photography? Here’s why!

• It helps me explore and express my creative side. With the advent of digital photography, what was once an expensive hobby has now become accessible to all.

• Photography helps open my mind. It drives me to look at things from different angles, which requires having different perspectives and being open minded.

• Photography helps me to remember my life and the people in it, the places I visit, the things I love, in far greater detail, color, and depth than if I had not taken a photograph! Being able to record memories is one major reason why I love photography.

• Photography has expanded my view of the world and helped to me to see the underlying oneness in everyone. I love photography because it makes me feel one with nature or one with the people who are subjects of my photography. When I am composing a shot and focusing on how to get the best picture, I forget all about myself. I am able to transcend the limitations of my mind and body and merge with the subject.

• Photography helps me to tell stories. These stories could be about places I have been to, people I have loved or found interesting, things that I find fascinating, etc.

• I love photography because of the artistic freedom that I get from it. I can take a picture of anything and make it look even better with the way I manage the settings on my camera or with post-processing. This makes me feel very good about myself. I love how photography makes me feel more confident about myself and my place in the world.
