It was my university 2nd Year and I was not happy. Something inside me was telling me that something is wrong. I had a feeling inside myself that I wasn’t living up to my potential, that I was lost. So, one day my friend asked me if I would photograph him. I had gotten a nice camera some days ago so I thought why not.
I could tell looking at her face that she was very self-conscious. She was naturally stunningly beautiful so she easily looked beautiful in every photograph. So, when it all was done I showed her the photographs. Her eyes lit up in awe and happiness and she had finally saw the beauty everyone else did. That was the moment when my life changed. I realized I had the ability to give someone self-love through my camera lens.
So, my life did take a u turn. My plan prior to all of this was to become a Software Engineer and live behind a desk but I had NEVER thought about becoming a photographer for a living. From the day I had taken photos of my friends, all I had been able to think about was photography. I asked everyone I knew to photograph them. I would sit on YouTube all night trying to learn more about my camera and how to use it properly. I put my heart and soul into bettering myself, and it finally paid off.
After a month later, I was offered money for my services of photography. It was a wedding. I began receiving a commission while doing something I loved. Then finally at 21 I had created my own wedding photography business.
It was a crazy turn of events. I just cannot emphasize enough how unexpected I had found the thing I am most passionate about. I could not be happier at the place I am in my life. My business is better than ever.
Photography has changed my life in so many ways that I didn’t think was possible. It has made me hardworking and determined. I have gained confidence to be myself through my work. It gives me an escape from the real world.
I have added some of my work , do give feedback , will be appreciated
