Introduction

Alright. It's time. I've waited. I've observed. I've seen what is being put out there (or lack there of). I've decided to start a new project that consists of me sharing my experience behind the lens now though lens of this blog.

I've been a "professional" photographer for 4 years. I've noticed there seems to be a lack of relatable material from photographers. Most photography blogs seem to be doing equipment reviews, how to's, or sharing a project in a tone way too serious and unrelatable. If you know, then you know.

The world of photography content never fully peaked my interest. Most movies are about the work of someone who lived a long time ago. And while their work may be incredible, I never felt the platform it was being shared on does it justice. The same goes for social media posts and YouTube videos. It seems we've prioritized what the algorithm wants over what the human wants.

That's why I'm starting this blog. I want to focus on what the human wants. I want to share my niche in photography (architecture) and the projects I do in a way that's relatable and enjoyable. After all, that is the whole point of being a photographer. Show your perspective of something to someone in a captivating way.

I've got a few ideas on how I want to do that. I've spent the past 3 years photographing and filming architecture professionally. I want to share projects I think will captivate people. I want to show photos I think will inspire people. At the very least, I want to put my work somewhere for someone to see and potentially think, "nice".

I am a full-time architectural photographer for a real estate information systems company called Costar Group. I am one of 300+ photographers around the world who get the privilege to photograph and film buildings. I am also the youngest. The projects that take up most of my time are with our Apartments.com and Homes.com brands. I'll let you take a wild guess as to what each of those projects do.

So here we are. Feedback is appreciated. Criticism is encouraged. The best way to learn, in my experience, is to fail. So let me know what we think about these articles to come.
