So why have I made a blog, you may ask?
For starters, yes, it’s for a class. Our main goal is to learn how to use the tools of social media through different platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. While we peruse all three of those social media every day as a part of our own life and brand, it’s a totally new experience to be writing as yourself but not for yourself.
I have four main goals for this blog:
- Help beginner photographers become more confident in their work
- Learn new ways to educate through tutorials and graphics
- Share my photography with others
- Pass this class
I got my first camera almost two years ago due to a photography course I was taking for school. During our May Term, students have the chance to go abroad for a whole month, and it just so happened this photography course was headed for New Zealand. Taking that trip has changed my life and I would like to go back as soon as I can.
I am NOT a professional photographer, so this will be a learning experience for all of us. With graduation looming nearer, I would like to say I hope to continue this website for my benefit, and yours too.
