Unveiling Imagination

Nature is already beautiful and mesmerizing as it is. But a camera can make it even more captivating.

If you’re a photographer, you know that photography doesn’t necessarily capture reality 100%. It can be used to portray what we imagine. That’s why images like this seascape are so fascinating to look at:

The photographer titled this shot “In the Hades Kingdom,” and it really does feel like it’s taken out of a fantasy world. It’s something we cannot see with our naked eye, but it’s real in our imagination.

What Photography Does to You…

I was reading the introduction of a nature photography article that gave me a bit of a "wow" moment. It says, “Sometimes we get so caught up in thinking about what we can do to make our photography better that we lose sight of how photography can make us better… Whatever your road to becoming a photographer, whether you are a professional or just shooting for a hobby, I believe that photography has some important benefits that can enrich your life. Specifically, shooting in nature can improve your physical and mental health..”

This made me realize how much better of a person I’ve become because of photography.
