Hi my name is Shannon and I'm a 24-year-old University student who just loves photography. I have never studied any photography in my life and just learned from taking thousands of photos and getting advice and tips from others. I live in Melbourne and take my camera everywhere I go and take photos on the street as well as in my home. I dont really have a favorite thing to photograph but I'm color blind so I dont play with colors much and also dont know how to use Photoshop but I wish I did as I think it would be fun. Not a big fan of HDR either or over the top editing.
I decided to start a blog after sharing some of my photos on other social media sites. I really enjoy photography, evertime I have a camera in my hand it makes me feel relaxed and I feel like anything can be made to look great if its photographed well.
In all I just want to be able to learn more each time I turn on my camera and also love to read and admire other peoples work. I'd love to expand my collection of lenses and other props so I can try all different types of work. I'm always open to advice and tips and would love to one day be able to make my passion part of my job.
