We have become accustomed to using photography way more brother than before. We use it not only to create and record memories, but also as a note taker or research tool.
However photography is still an art form, a way to express yourself creatively that, in my humble opinion and proven experience, can help you with your mental health and body acceptance. Visuals born in a black box by the dance of the light inside - how more magical this could be?
Even I, who is professionally dedicated to the craft, often forget the power it has. The ability to capture a subject in a way that it appears, or to freeze a moment forever in time. Despite its mechanical side (which I sometimes dislike), photography has given me a space to express emotions, to heal wounds and to create without restrictions.
Next time you pick up the phone to use the camera for whatever reason, stop and think what other photo you can take that would be full of meaning. Repeat this 10 times and you might end up with a little collection that can cherish for years to come.
