Turning Moments into Magic
It started with a simple smartphone with 12MP of camera sensor.I was always so curious about how these moments would look in a frame.I often captured pictures of animals,leaves,vehicles.Most of these were poorly framed and consisting of very low resoulation,as I wasn't well aware about the settings of camera.
(These low-resoulation pictures hold fond memories for me.I used to grab my phone and rush around,trying to capture a meaningful moment)
One of my closest friend used to have a Single Lens Reflex camera (SLR).Moreover,he used to be a good photographer and I always tried to learn something new from him.On 2017, me along with that friend joined the photography club of our educational institution,named- Photography Club Of Rouf College(PCRC).Thereby, our experienced seniors and teachers taught some basics of camera,mobile camera.We used to follow there each and every instruction.But it was a very high desire for me to become a good photoghrapher with a very low end device.But everything changed after the miracle of being second topper in an open book exam which took place in our nearby coaching center after our Junior School Certificate examination and the second price of it was a Digital Single lens Reflex camera (DSLR).And that was the official begining of me being a photographer.
Our photography club(PCRC) always used to breif us regarding any part and function of a camera.I used to note them down.Participating in every photowalk organized by that club took my photographic knowledge to a whole new dimension.I understood shutter speed,aperture,iso,exposure compensation,white balance,metering modes,drive modes and so on.Me and my friend often used to take our camera to wherever we go,it became more like a life partner to both of us, sigh!Moreover,being official photographer of any festival was a daily basis thing for us.Capturing other happiness is a happiness to us.But things changed during the covid pandemic as we were bound to stay at home, and it was impossible for us to click pictures.And being locked down at home divertad our mind from photography.After the first phrase of of lock down, our educational institution reopened and due to academic pressure we almost gave up on our that side of passion.Before the Higher Secondary School Certificate a study tour to Savar Military Dairy Farm. Almost all day long, I captured moments of my classmates and honourable teachers.
Capturing these moments all day long made me famous among my batch mates, most of them tried to capture their potraits by me.I tried my best not to reject any one.After my test examination I got an offer for a wedding photography,I excitingly grabbed that offer and went to the venue on time. It was my first experience as a professional photographer.It was really very hectic as I had to click each and every guests photo along with bide and groom.As I was a young boy and rookie photographer, I was enough neglected by the guestes.But I tried not to be demotivated and focused on what I love to do the most.
Here is some pictures of that particular wedding ceremony,after that I realised the importance of being a good editor as I had to edit each and every piece of raw photos before providing them to the client.That is why I started to learn photo editing on Adobe Lightroom.Even I purchased online courses on photo and video editing to inhance my learning experience, also for improving my efficiency.Moreover, I was asked if I'm capable of recording the whole ceremony.I wasn't enough prepared for that which is why I rejected instantly.After couple of months I got another offer from the same client, they wanted me to cover the reception programme as well and obviously I've accepted that.I managed a gimbal from another professional photographer which helped me to record stable videos.Learning photo and video editings together was actually a good decision.I could made them satisfied with my improved work.
