Hello World!
My Journey into the World of Photography
An Unexpected Click
I have always had an “eye” for capturing images, but it was never more than a snap here and there in the random family event.
However, a couple of years ago I received a life-changing opportunity which consisted in moving from my home country (Mexico) to the US to one of the most beautiful cities in the world - Chicago.
A couple of days after moving in and by walking in downtown, I started to enjoy taking more and more pictures with my phone. That’s when I decided to It was time to get a more “Professional” camera and decided to get a mirrorless Sony..
Exploring the World Through the Lens
From that day on, the camera became my inseparable companion. I started photographing everything around me: landscapes, animals, fireworks, sunsets, parades, you name it. Each image was a new adventure, an opportunity to discover beauty in the everyday.
Learning and Growing
Over time, my interest in photography deepened. I devoured books and tutorials, experimented with different techniques and styles, and learned from the hands of great photographers. I discovered the importance of composition, light, and editing, and began to develop my own artistic eye.
Sharing My Passion
Photography has not only allowed me to capture memories and express my creativity, but also to connect with other people. Sharing my photos online has given me the opportunity to meet other passionate photographers, receive constructive feedback, and learn from their experiences.
A Never-Ending Journey
My journey into the world of photography still continues. Every day is a new opportunity to learn, grow, and discover new forms of expression. Photography has given me a unique way of seeing the world, of appreciating the beauty in details, and of telling stories through images. It is a passion that will always accompany me.
