Things I learned from Photography that changed my life




Photography is one of those things that youth like to try their hands in. It's a very common fantasy of youth to have a camera and travel the world. Well, there are people who are doing this and living this fantasy.

Photography has a lot to offer. It helps you grow on various levels in life.

Here is the list of things that changed in my life in my small career of photography:

1. Endurance: Getting a perfect shot is not easy and you tend to take numerous retakes and clicks to have that perfect shot. But once you get that shot, you go home and look back at that particular click you realize how it was worth all the time it took. 
Same is with life too, we should be patient enough and keep on trying again and again until we get our perfect shot. Because the longer we wait far having our perfect shot, longer it would be in our memory and more would be the sweet taste of success.

2. Preparation: When you go out for your photo shoot you need to have a list of some things that you would need in order to have a perfect shot. Whether it be arranging plot or carrying the cameras and tripods or clothing, you tend to have a list of everything needed, as anything less would impact the shoot in wrong way. Same is with life, you need to be prepared for what you are trying to do in life. From now on, I always have a checklist of tasks and targets of a particular week. This helps me complete my targets on time.

3. Point of View: Photography is an art where you tell a story from your point of view. Photographs clicked by two different photographers may have altogether two different stories. Same is with life, you may not be happy with what you have, but there are much more people who are thriving to achieve what you have already got. A problem may be a problem from one point of view but not effect you at all from another point of view. So you need to learn which point of view matters you and which does not.

4. Small things: Photography is something which requires quite a detailing. You need to understand small details and aspects of everything that is coming into the picture. A bad light, to a little out of focus, to a small extra element can ruin a perfect photograph. Same is with life too, you need to understand the magic of small things and how such small things matter the most and these small things help you grow in your life. The magic of life is in living small things.
