I’m back again, writing a journal about my life experiences. Life has been really hard for me lately. I’ve also returned to the photography industry—I’ve set up a small home photo studio to get started. For experimental purposes, I didn’t invest in a super expensive setup; I’m just using a basic standard lighting setup. Instead of strobes or flashes, I purchased continuous lights since this kind of lighting is easier to use.
I really enjoy photography as a hobby, but turning it into a business or a source of income is a completely different story. Fortunately, since I offer the most affordable rates in town, I’ve been getting regular bookings every week. As always, I love black and white photography—it holds a special place in my heart. However, I know I also need to learn studio photography. The learning curve has been manageable, especially since I’m using continuous lighting.

As I mentioned before, I recently purchased a Canon R8 with a 35mm f/1.8 lens as a starter kit for my business. I don’t need expensive gear right now, but I know that one day, I’ll be able to afford it too.
