Hey there, fellow photography enthusiasts! Welcome to the very first blog post of the Everyday Photographer. I'm thrilled to embark on this exciting journey of documenting my love for photography and sharing my experiences with all of you. Allow me to introduce myself and shed some light on the path that led me to this moment.
Photography has always held a special place in my heart. From a young age, I found myself captivated by the magic of freezing moments in time, capturing emotions, and telling stories through images. I have my dad to thank for sparking this passion within me. He introduced me to the wonders of photography, teaching me the basics and igniting a lifelong curiosity.
As life unfolded, I found myself on a different path, pursuing a Ph.D. in a field seemingly unrelated to photography—microscopy. Little did I know, this scientific endeavor would deepen my understanding of light, optics, and image formation, casting an intriguing new light on my love for photography.
During my graduate studies, while immersed in the fascinating world of microscopy, I discovered the intricate physics behind light and its behavior. Learning how to manipulate and control light for precise imaging awakened a new perspective within me. I realized that the principles I was exploring in the laboratory were closely intertwined with the art and craft of photography.
Armed with this newfound knowledge, I began to experiment with my camera, blending the technical aspects I had learned with the creative instincts that had always guided me. While I may not be formally trained as a photographer, I've come to understand that passion and dedication can often bridge the gap between formal education and self-discovery.
And that's where the Everyday Photographer comes into the picture. This blog is a manifestation of my desire to document my ongoing journey of learning and growing as a photographer. It's a platform where I can share my successes, challenges, and everything in between. As I continue to develop my skills and delve deeper into the vast realm of photography, I hope to inspire and connect with fellow enthusiasts who are equally passionate about this incredible art form.
Through the Everyday Photographer, I aim to explore various genres of photography, experiment with different techniques, and delve into the technical intricacies that shape the way we perceive and capture the world around us.
