Learn photography – even if it is on your phone

“I started taking an interest in photography when I first started being on social media 5 years ago. I started taking more photos on my phone (iPhone 4 at the time) and favouriting my best pictures in an album. I took pictures until my phone was out of storage, then selected my favourites, put them in a folder and deleted the rest. Repeating this cycle until I had dozens of folders and filled my storage with my best photos of the year. These made me more critical of my photos, and I found I liked my more recent “favourites” than my earlier ones. This self-critiquing process helped me improve and impress a few people, so I took this more seriously while enjoying the feeling this hobby gave me.”
