Not a photographer…
Just photograph-ing. 📸✨✨✨
I got a camera before I knew anything about cameras. No pro plans, no business goals, I just genuinely enjoy snapping photos of things that catch my eye.
I ended up with a LUMIX G100 which I picked based on price, size, and the fact that I had no clue what I was doing. Beginner & budget-friendly felt like the move 😅 I eventually purchased a 25mm lens while still having no clue what a “prime” lens even was. I find myself using that 25mm all the time now 💕
It’s not the fanciest setup, but it’s enough for me to learn and create.
I’ve learned a lot, but I still don’t always know what I’m doing. And honestly? I’ve been super shy to share because my gear feels “less than” compared to the pros, and I’m not trying to be one.
But I’m pushing myself to post anyway, to stop hiding the photos I do love just because I’m not “official.”
I may not have it all figured out, but I’m learning with every shot 🫶🏽 and I’m always open to tips, tricks, or feedback if you’ve got any to share 🤍

Embarking on a photography journey can be daunting, especially if you feel you lack the skills or knowledge compared to seasoned photographers. Many start their journey with little understanding of photography fundamentals like ISO, shutter speed, or aperture. It's normal to feel shy and hesitant to share your work, especially when you see professionals with their high-end cameras dominating the field. However, every photographer, regardless of level, shares a common bond: a love for capturing the beauty in everyday moments. The LUMIX G100 is a fantastic choice for beginners due to its blend of user-friendly features and quality output. With a 25mm prime lens, it opens up immense opportunities for creativity, offering sharp images and beautiful bokeh. As you continue to learn, embrace experimentation. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; they are stepping stones to growth. Joining photography communities online, participating in discussions, and seeking feedback can greatly enhance your skills. Remember, the journey is as beautiful as the end result. Share your favorite snaps, engage with others on similar paths, and celebrate the small victories along the way. If you’re feeling self-conscious about sharing your pictures, know that your perspective and experiences matter. Allow your unique viewpoint to shine through, and you may connect with others who feel the same way. So, step out of your comfort zone—start posting, and inspire others who might also be camera shy to share their art!
