Truth be told, I never thought of photography as something I’d take seriously. When someone asks me what my hobbies are - I subconsciously leave out photography. Over the last two years, it has taken a shape of its own - I now want to share how I see the world with others.
I started with posting my photos as stories on Insta, but lately I’ve felt like that isn’t the right venue. A caption seems too small to explain my thoughts, and 1:1 ratio feels too constricting to me. Not to mention the image compression. It forces you to be relevant and trendy - the exact opposite of what a hobby is supposed to feel like.
The overarching themes in these photos is finding beauty in ordinary things and realising how small we are in the grand scheme of the universe. Optimistic nihilism as I call it. You will most likely die twice in 200 years, might as well live life out the way you want. You don’t need grand, main-character moments to define who you are, there’s enough moments in our little lives to make our days. A plane in the sky leaving a contrail behind, leaves turning yellow in fall season.
I’ve split some of what I think are the best clicks I’ve taken into albums - with descriptions below each image telling you how/why I took the image. I hope that makes it more relatable to you, the viewer - maybe you start looking for these moments in your lives too :)
