My interest in photography began about 3 years ago, with social media, where I started seeing lots of photography-related posts. This triggered something in me; I had no camera, only a phone. I had no idea what I was doing nor did I consider it even a hobby because obviously taking photos of whatever is aesthetically pleasing on a phone isn't really a hobby just something that occurs sometimes. Many know Portugal holds a spot in the FIA World Rally Championship. On the weekend it was held, I had my first-ever interchangeable lens camera experience. The Sony ZV-E1, from there on out, while searching around the house, I found a compact camera that's older than me, decided to buy a new battery and give it a sort of revival. It was a Panasonic Lumix DMC FX-12K. Since then, I always have it around me. My passion for photography led me here, to this website, and creating social media accounts dedicated to sharing my photography.
