I have always loved taking photos. I remember buying my first tiny little kid camera and using it until it broke on me. I have always loved looking through the view finder and capturing a point in time. I took a film photography class back in high school and was …
I’ve never owned a nice Nikon, I’ve only ever used my phone, but I’d say that the idea of photography has always been one that has been bouncing around in my head. As someone who loves to create, I am always taking in the value and beauty of nature and …
Currently, on my phone, my camera roll consists of 11,140 photos. I take photos of everything in my life of myself, food, friends, my furry animals, and so much more. I also take a lot of videos of myself as a musician, because I want to listen to myself, or …

I think I have a decent amount of experience with photography. My mom was a photographer professionally, so I know my way around a camera and I know what to do with a reflector and studio light. However, having my mom constantly taking photos made me very aware that anything …
I have some experience taking photos, but it has been a long time since I have tried to perfect my technique. I remember in high school a photography class, and my favorite part was developing the film. I thought the process had a magical quality (minus the smell).
Now I …
iPhones and disposal cameras have always been the extent of my photography skills. I have always loved taking photos to serve as memories of my life, but I have never put in the time or effort to buy and use an actual camera.
The photos I take are usually of …
I’ve been shooting since the Kodak Pocket Instamatic in high school. By the time I enlisted in the Marine Corps, I got my first SLR camera, an Olympus OM-1 with a fixed, 50mm lens. You could adjust the aperture and focus, and could add a flash with its hot shoe. …
Photography has always been something that I have found incredibly entertaining. For as long as I can remember, I took pictures and videos. When I was super young, I created a Youtube channel and bought a camera for it to record videos and edit photos. Photography is so personal, creative, …
I have never taken a photography class or really even taken a photo with a camera better than the one on my phone. That being said, I do sometimes snap photos of things I think are worth remembering in such a format. That might be a particular class whiteboard to …
I take some photos, but I don’t really take a lot currently. Mostly, I tend to take them of things like strange road signs or animals. I don’t really have a particular approach to my photography, nor have I ever worked to capture a particular feeling or meaning in one …

Realistically, I do not have much experience taking photos. I mean, if you count screenshots as me taking photos, I take plenty of photos. I typically use the portrait mode setting if I attempt to take a decent/professional-looking photo with my phone. When looking at the limited photos that I …
Back in the day I was very into photography; I would usually take pictures of nature and the world around me, and whenever we went to special events like weddings, or graduations, I was always the designated photographer. However, as time went on, I began to associate photography with with …
I like taking photos to document what is going on in my life and the things that I am doing. I like being able to look back on memories through pictures. I usually take pictures with other people, like friends or family when we go out or have events. It’s …
Do I take a lot of photos now? HA. Ask my moms who are CONSTANTLY making fun of me for my over use of Snapchat. As someone who appreciates a good visual, or prefers to see the face of of the person I am talking to, I have a huge …
I take a lot of photos. I think of myself as one of many who have been fortunate enough to live in a time where taking a picture, of anything, is easier than ever before. And not just one. You could max out the storage on your phone taking thousands …

Photography has always been something I’ve had a passing interest in. The first photos I ever remember taking were done using my Nintendo 3DS camera in 2011. Back then, I’d mainly take photos of my toys, posing them dynamically for fun shots. Nowadays, I typically only partake …
Photography has been a big part of my creative process in life for the past five years. When I was in high school it was required we take at least one art class, though we were allowed to chose. I had originally tried to take the fundamental art class but …
I have never had an eye for photography. My friends are able to take beautiful photos but when I try to take a photo of the exact same thing it turns out wrong. As a result, I do not try to take a lot of “artsy” photos. I normally take …
My photography experience has not been alive for that long. Only about three years ago is when I started to really enjoy taking pictures of things. I usually go on to take pictures that bring me some sort of nostalgia. That nostalgia may be linked to memory with my friends …
I have never been big into taking pictures of things other than my friends, family, or myself with my friends. I have always been focused on other hobbies which I am assuming kept me from picking up photography. I usually take a lot of pictures when I am with my …
My previous experience with photography is limited. I would call myself an amateur. As of now, my camera roll is dominated with pictures of me with my friends, boyfriend, family, and/or dogs. A lot of my photos also come from snapchat. This is one of the apps I use most …
After reviewing the photography and visual elements material, I realized that I do take a lot of photos now and I did a lot in the past too. Most of the time it was at some special event I wanted memories of, myself (because I liked an outfit I had …

Likewise, my Aunt (Dad’s sister) is a professional photographer. My brother again, is a photographer. You get the idea. I live among photographers. I am not …
I have been doing photography since seventh grade. I started out with a little AA battery-powered Kodak camera that I got for Christmas. I used that bad boy for every occasion and would often just go outside and take pictures of every living thing around me. I used it for …
