Well I ended up learning my assumption was wrong and that photography was more complicated than that. There were other things to consider like composition, lighting, depths of field, etc. (Don't worry they also sounded alien to me at first.)

Just like most people, I started taking pictures during special occasions or whenever I'm with my family and friends. Basically, the whole idea was to capture and preserve these special moments.

>>Fast forward to the time when I've started to learn a thing or two from my photography courses.

LESSON#1:You don't necessarily have to be the subject of the photo for it to be interesting. (Yeah, I know it doesn't really suit well with vanity.) It could be anyone or anything you happen to see while walking on the street. A photo just needs a subject and a story. A captured moment that could have gone unnoticed in a blink of an eye.

This is one of the things that fascinates me most about photography. The pictures can sometimes tell the story as clearly as words can. It's a powerful tool of self-expression that can reflect or distort reality. As such, it is equally important to consider not only what you want to say but also how you are going to say it.

This webpage serves as an online portfolio where I will share my works and experiences as a photography enthusiast who sees reality through the lens.
