Is the photography community over saturated?

Everyday you see someone taking pictures. Everyday there is someone buying a DSLR camera. Why should you start making photography a hobby when it seems so over saturated. Yes there is a lot of photographers, but no one sees the world like you do. Photographs make the audience see your story.

It doesn’t matter what you photograph, it shows a piece of who you are. Photography is a  way to express what you feel and how you portray the world. So don’t be afraid to express in any way you feel. You decide what you want your audience to feel in that particular moment.

When you start taking your pictures, you will see how enjoyable it is. Being able to portray your own universe. Able to capture multiple emotions in one photograph. And also able to see how different people portray what you captured, and seeing how they feel about it. Photography is really special, and once you start, trust me you will see how enjoyable photography is, and wonder why you didn’t start sooner.

Do not be concerned about the other millions of people taking pictures because no could be you. You have your own uniqueness and style that people are dying to see. So don’t deprive the world from your art. Don’t underestimate your abilities. Perfect your craft. Most importantly don’t forget to have fun.
