onto today’s topic: i love taking photos 📸 

i’ve always been a “phone eats first” kinda girl. not only food, i get a lot of satisfaction from curating a visual aesthetic and capturing beautiful memories of all sorts.

instagram is my most used app simply because i love creating stories and sharing my photos with others. it’s not so much a social media gratification thing, but more to share my lens of the world.

can’t say i’m much of an actual photographer since i don’t do all of those editorial-type shoots or take the time to colour grade my photos, but i do certainly show my appreciation for the present and beauty surrounding me by saving it with a click of the shutter for the future. 🖼️ 

i’m always trying out new photo hacks and styles on my iphone, and the recent upgrade to a sony camera has been amazing. the photos seem clearer than my eyesight and the satisfaction of a well-framed photo with perfect lighting is top-tier. i must say, there are a lot of features on the camera and it seemed daunting to use at first. so, instead of having myself master the piece of technology theoretically, i’ve just started using it and research new settings as needed.

i was struggling a lot with overexposed pictures on my camera until a few weeks ago, and a quick youtube video taught me everything i need to know about zebras. 🦓 no more bright white pictures now. (:
