I'm a surfer. An environmentalist. A writer. And last, and most importantly; a photographer. I've had a camera in my hand since day 1, and I've never known anything different. Yes, I am a Gen Z'er—so I've never known anything different than digital; the curse of this generation and the epitome of instant gratification. But it doesn't mean that I don't know what film photography is. I actually own 2 film cameras and have been learning to use them recently.
Lauren DayPublished 6 years ago in PhotographyAbandoned Belfast—'Parklands'
Parklands now: The site is eerily tranquil and calm despite its location, and nature has most definitely started to take over—not only were the cherry blossom trees which are dotted about the grounds flourishing during the writer's visit, ivy is gradually seeping into the vacant building. Birdsong has replaced the sounds of busy everyday life which must once have filled the area and this, along with the signs of nature thriving without limitations, is in stark contrast to the bleak look of the building itself.
Juliet WilkinsonPublished 6 years ago in PhotographyThe Mystery in a Photo
Have you ever looked at a photograph with curiosity? Standing looking down at the little square full of amazing colorful scenes; letting the imagination run wild and free; taking in every single object; thinking of the picture as though it is a new exciting adventure; wondering what magical creature hides behind one of the objects—the creature that is hiding in wait to pull you in is the photograph itself. The photograph is trying to tell the person seeing it a story in a different way.

You might be surprised how many photographs I take. Usually, hundreds a day. I record all but the most mundane moments, in photographs taken from dawn until dusk.
Blade XPublished 6 years ago in PhotographyThe Many Faces of Flowers
The beauty of flowers is that no matter the angle you photograph them at, they are still beautiful. Yes, I know that everything has been done before when it comes to photographing flowers but it's not about everyone else, it is about you (the photographer). Flower photography can force you to strengthen your creative side and your soft side. For example, in the photo above may not be an amazing photo but in my eyes, I can imagine the three flowers morphing into some flower zombie with its arms swaying out in front of it. We all get stuck in a non-healthy cycle of work and get bombarded with stress and depression. Because of this, I recommend that you take a few minutes out of your day and photograph flowers, rather you use a camera or a phone, the goal is to spark your imagination and to help lower stress. For example, I am a full-time graduate student and in the middle of writing all of my 5,000 page papers I find that a 15 minute walk tends to help relax my mind and get me past my writer's block.

Compared to other types of photography, street photography is a whole new world. It's nothing like nature photography where you get the same idea: taking photos of flowers, rivers, mountains. No, for street photography, there are an unlimited amount of ways you can capture anything on photo. Since the streets of a city are always changing, the people are unique, the atmosphere is diverse, and the city is the perfect place for street photographers to play in.

Jacqueline HanikehPublished 6 years ago in PhotographyWhy Printing Your Photos Can Make You a Better Photographer
It's no surprise that photographers have a huge passion in taking photos and are constantly inspired by their surroundings. They'll take a bunch of photos, pick their most favorite ones, and edit them... and sometimes leave them in their computer. It's true, so many photographers don't bother printing out their best works. They'll post them on their social media, put them in their online portfolio, and that's it. Many of them don't even feel like printing out their photos.
