Unique Perspective

I've been busy lately but all what's in my mind is photography! Pretending that my eyes are my viewfinder and looking for things to shoot with my bare eyes I also focus on the TV Shows and try to figure out what settings they were using... I get inspired this way to think of different perspectives and make a plan of the things I want to shoot!

birthday cake and blackberry
Surprise!
We had a little surprise birthday party for a cousin, it was great! I took  the traditional cake photo but wasn't happy with it. Everyone else was taking instgram photos at the same time so I tried to quickly capture one of the instgrams and got this beautiful photo. It's not just a cake, it gives an essence and feel of the time (instgram and smartphones) and the event!

It is really fun to look for different perspectives and the outcome - beautiful and unique photos - is worth it!

My Photography Story



Nikon point & shoot
The Start - I was four or five years old (can't remember!) my family use to take so.many. photos back in the film era. We have lots of albums and lots of beautiful memories <3... back to my story, we (my Parents, Grandma and Sister) were being photographed and a conversation started. Me: I want to take that photo! Give me the Camera (nagging). Dad: You don't know how to take a good photo. Me: I know! .... and it goes on! So I got to shoot for the first time. I couldn't wait for that film to be developed and see that photo. I finally got to see it, Guess what! It was diagonal and I cropped my Grandma's head x_x Make another Guess..... We still have the photo at my parents place!
