Here are 9 main reasons I love photography.
1. Expresses my inner creativity.
I think best upside down.

Photography is one of the main ways I can actually express my inner creativity while pleasing others. Photography makes me feel like nothing else in the world exists. When I am looking through the lens to the model, car, flower, whatever I might be taking a picture of at the time it feels like a whole other world.
2. Making other people happy.

I have never seen someone sad while trying to take pictures of them, they are always happy. I really like being around happy people simply because it makes my job easier. If people are smiling in pictures they tend to be more relaxed which makes the photographers job a joy.
3. Enhances my artistic ability.

There is nothing I love more than being able to develop my artistic talent. I love learning and making myself be the best I can be. Taking pictures helps that because it teaches me about composition which I can then use later in college earning a graphic design major.
4: Family Name

At the end of the day, the true reason I like taking pictures is because I love tradition. Ever since my grandpa has been taking photos, it has made me look up to him. He has made me realize that one day I would like to take photos that are are well taken as the one that he takes, and spent so much time on it.
5. Gives me something to do.

Do you ever just sit there so bored during the summer waiting for your friends to get off work or someone to invite you to something? Well with photography you don't have to sit around. It is something you can do by yourself while enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
6. You get to enjoy nature while doing it.

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE nature. Nature is so breathtaking and really the only way to capture it is to take pictures of it. Yes sometimes you are fighting with your shutter speed and aperture but at the end of day taking those 'golden hour' pictures were definitely worth fighting the sun.
7. Captures those special moments.

Recently, I have been invited to take pictures at a two-year-old's birthday party. I couldn't think of anything more precious to capture. Or taking those senior graduation picture that go on your grad announcement and sent out to all of your family everywhere.
8. Making that money.

Photography is such a great way to make some extra cash. I don't even charge a lot for my shoots just enough to cover my gas and time doing it, I just love seeing everyone smile while I snap picture of them.
9. Overall Enjoyable.

Overall the whole thing is just a really fun experience, and it helps me learn with every photoshoot I do. The shoots are always full of laughter and really expressive reactions when I tell the models what I would like them to do for this picture, such as get in the lake with your maxi dress on.
