Why I love Photography

PORTUGUÊS

I'm not even remotely a professional, but photography is already my passion. It's an art where you can express yourself through the camera. The photograph doesn't barely express the reality, but also the eyes of the photographer with respect to the world.

When you enjoy the art of photography, you understand there is nothing ugly or beautiful. Everything deserves your attention. Everything can be special, you just need to look in another perspective. 

It's impressive how many feelings a photograph can bring. Happiness, nostalgia, sadness, each photograph carries with it a story. A picture of the past can bring all that day to your mind again.

I don't know exactly why I like so much of this pic. I think I like the composition, the colour of the sky, but it's more than that. I took this photo in my first day in Oslo, where I was doing my exchange. One year passed so fast, but when I look to this pic, all that day comes to my mind. Everything was new and exciting. A feeling of nostalgia that makes me want to go back in time and start all over again. 

You know those incredible moments in your life you will never forget? Well, only the photography can capture and freeze those moments so that they get stuck in a world where they never end.

Some photographs bring no so good feelings. This pic is from the concentration camp of Auschwitz, Poland. It's a gloomy feeling to walk through that hall where so many people were mutilated by the insanity of others. A hall, that now is empty, was once full of people walking to death.

The fact is, it doesn't matter if you don't have experience or if you don't have an expensive equipment. Photography is a way to express our feelings, interests and vision about the world around us. So get your camera and start shooting.
