I love this reminder that great photography isn’t always about having the most expensive equipment, but about learning to see the beauty in the little things around us. 📸 Sometimes, the best shot comes from simply noticing the light, the details, and the moments others might overlook. Thank you for sharing these insights, Sergio! Looking forward to putting some of these ideas into practice. 😊
The thing is, no one really takes photos of me and even if someone does i hate them. I refuse for photos or videos. Specially if they are not from the front camera. Back camera, which apparently shows how you actually look, makes me look very ugly and to which I'm always like, "are you telling me I look THIS ugly?" So taking photos was never the problem. It has been myself always and i do not know how to change it...
I thought a bit about what you shared. I have these questions for you A) do you really wish to get photographed? B) when was the last time that you did not mind being taken a photo? C) what changed since then?
Yes, I wish to get photographed in such a way that I look what I actually look like in it... I love taking photos as well it's just that I'm afraid if someone takes them, they might turn out ugly. The last time I did not mind being photographed was probably 5 years ago. Because i was not such an overthinker, overanalyzer. And i had actually looked really good in those photos... what changed is my mind. The insecurity has grown very very much and I criticise every feature of mine. I'm constantly worried if people would think of me as an ugly person. I do feel pretty many times but as soon as I open the camera my mood changes. That's what's up.
As a mother, I’m always the one taking photos of my kids, so the reminder that I also deserve to be in the photos really hit me.
And I love the idea of photographing ordinary moments—not just the “perfect” ones. We’re constantly changing, and one day those everyday moments might become the memories we treasure most.

This really resonated with me. 📸
