I got started in photography around six years ago. I was always intrigued by it growing up but never really got the chance to try it out.

It wasn’t until 2017, when my partner pushed me to give it a go, that I got my very first entry-level DSLR. I started with a Nikon D3400, but when I felt I had outgrown it, I knew that photography was my calling.

Kit choice was incredibly important for some of these shots, but not all of them. For street and landscape photography, I recommend using a wide-angle lens as you will be able to capture a lot of depth. For far-away subjects, use a telephoto lens. If the crop is too tight, you can always stitch multiple images together to form a pano.
