"My Journey Through Life: Childhood" Part 4

Today, I want to tell you how I got into photography.

I’ve always loved taking pictures—whether it was with an old point-and-shoot camera, an old Nokia phone, or a film camera, I was always capturing something. )

Later, my mom got a small digital camera, and I took it everywhere, photographing absolutely everything. I loved it! I even started doing self-portraits—some true masterpieces, which you’ll see in the carousel. 😅😂🤣 I did close ups and crops even before it became mainstream 😅🤣

Then I started photographing my friends and acquaintances, and before I knew it, photography completely consumed me for the next few years! I even figured out how to do trendy edits right inside the camera. 😂

These photos were taken on an old point-and-shoot camera.

All my school friends constantly asked me to take photos. We would even go to parks for nice locations so I could take pictures for their new profile pics on VKontakte. 😅😂 To my surprise, everyone really liked my photos, even though I was just a kid with no experience or knowledge. There were hardly any photographers to look up to back then, since everything in this field was just starting to develop. That’s when I realized I loved it more and more—I was practically sleeping with my camera. 🤪

That was when I first started dreaming about my very own real camera…
