Photography can be a huge part of many people’s lives. Using photography can add to experiences such as articles or sporting events. Taking photos can help people remember events and be more involved at the moment as they are taking their pictures. It is another form of art that can show people’s passions and how they see the world through the photos that they take.
Photography helps keep people in the moment and it helps to remember events and important moments in their lives. Many different things can be captured through photography, such as feelings, expressions, and actions. Photography can be used to express the photographer’s own emotions or the emotions of the people surrounding the photographer. An MPHS yearbook student, Madisyn Onstott says “Photography is important to capture memories and express emotions people are feeling in photos.” Photography can help freeze time in a way to keep memories for others who are in the photos or even the people taking the photos. The emotions of the people in the photos are important to show who they are through their faces and their actions.
Photography is used inside of our school at MPHS by students in yearbook and publications classes. However, photography isn’t only a school course and a large hobby for many people. Derek Deans says “On my phone, I have always looked around at the world; cool buildings, trees, and flowers. Photos allowed me to show it all to my friends.” Photography helps people to share how they see the world through their eyes. Photography as a hobby can be fun and an amazing way to express yourself. It can bring joy to others and show the photographer’s views and their art.
Photography can also be shared in many ways. One way that many people like to show off their photography is Instagram. Derek Deans expresses, “Good photos always make people feel happy, and I love sharing mine publicly on Instagram.” Derek enjoys taking photos at school events and sharing them on his Instagram. He says that he enjoys posting to show publicity to the different sports and events that people may not know much about, such as volleyball. Sharing your photography can be fun and can show others how you see the world. It can also help influence people who may be interested in photography and motivate them to pick up a camera and start shooting and showing their own point of view.
Photography truly impacts and helps people share how they see the world. It can help keep memories and express emotions that people in the photographs feel. Photography can open up the world to others and give a bigger view of the world through the photographer’s eyes.
