Get to Know me and how I started my Photography journey?

Hi, I am the Maria also known as Lateu on instagram. I am young photographer, who just wants to show her work and show what i find amazing or unique in this world. So my interest is in photography at the begging of  Covid-19, when all of us were going through lockdown and I had nothing to do but try and find something to keep me distracted so i took up photography then i started to became fascinated with idea of capturing an item such as flowers and having the kind of stuck in time with the photo. I started to pick up a talent for Photography and became really good. I found it interesting how every time I took a photo it was captured at that period of time which will continue to live on in the photograph, hence to why I created "photos-of-time". I started to by taking photos of my flowers in my garden, and then my pets. This is when i tried too get more creative to see what else I could change  and making it look completely different, into make you think you are looking at one thing in the photo when really you look at the photo it turns out to be something completely different. After taking photo's for a few months I realised my talent is taking portraits, architecture, eyes, hands and landscapes and really enjoyed. So know when I take photos of something i think what can be said about this photo like what people think when they look at paintings of sculpture in an art gallery. What can you feel from the work? What does it make you feel? To me its how i express myself, how i try to show what i was feeling that day and to why i took and i get it may make zero sense but to me it does.

Every picture is capturing a period of time for everyone to enjoy.

I hope to build up more experience as i get older and go to more interesting places. I want to be able to learn more tricks and find more places to take fabulous photos. In ways no one else can take it in the same way. As my favourite quote says "Don't shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like" by David Alan Harvey.
