“Embracing change through my photography’’
It’s been a couple of years now that I take photos, for myself and for a living.
Mostly as my passion.
I have recently been going through some changes, and all this is happening due to social media. I think I am just realizing what really matters, and that I should be following what my gut is actually trying to communicate.
It’s been months that I am trying my best, to grow more on social media platforms, mainly Instagram, because you know, who does not want to?
It means a lot more than just numbers, it fuels the ego, it brings more to the table, and mostly toxic stuff when you are doing it for the wrong reasons.
Every 2/3 months I go through something that I call, a some kind of reset, it feels like, something is not in place. I always go back to look at photos I use to take when I had 0 care about any social media, or even had my account on private because I did not want to get corrupted by other’s opinion of what I value most.
This is clearly saying something, focus on what’s real, and what I am seeking, like truthfully, is only fulfilment through my work. It took only that one year of full pandemic that made me realize that it’s all a show, and it’s been killing me inside.
I felt like I had to share this, I am sure I am not the only one, the more I talk about it, the more I see other creatives stepping forward and acknowledging that they going through the same problems.
Anyway, like most days, I went out to do what I love most, documentary photography, here’s are some shots of today, Sept 18, 2021
