Photography has not always been a passion of mine, believe it or not. Until freshman year of college, I knew almost nothing about how to shoot photos. Videography has alway been my strong suit and so I never took much interest into photography. However, the summer going into my sophomore year of college is when I really started picking up the habit of taking photos. I began perfecting my craft, learning how to shoot, and how to edit. Now I cannot leave my room without bringing my camera with me.
For anyone who also wants to be a photographer, I would suggest the same, because you never know what you are going to capture. I have recently been inspired by a photographer by the name of Brandon Woelfel .
He is a famous Instagram photographer who loves neon lights and different sorts of colors. In all of his pictures he uses a very similar cotton candy color pallet and uses light as either a background stimulant or to light his subject. I started following Woelfel on Instagram about a month ago and I am fascinated by his editing style. I was inspired to try and recreate a Brandon Woelfel themed portrait series, and I think they came out better than I anticipated.
Be inspired by those who influence you, then try to make the content you create your own.
