My new photography website

At the start of a new year, I embarked on an exciting new venture: creating a brand new photography website. This site will differ significantly from my existing photography platform, Beingthere Photo. Unlike my previous website, which features a broad array of my photographic work, this new site will showcase only what I consider to be my very best photos. As a result, I expect this new site to remain much more diminutive compared to Beingthere Photo, which I plan to continue updating regularly.
Reflecting on the past year, 2021 presented some challenges and opportunities. While COVID-19 limitations persisted, it turned out to be slightly better than 2020 in some respects. Despite the ongoing pandemic, I managed to get out with my camera and capture some memorable moments. However, the number of shots I took was significantly lower than my usual annual tally. I ended the year with a total of 1600 photographs, which is far fewer than I typically shoot in a year.
Several factors contributed to this reduced number of photos. The most obvious one was the lockdown restrictions that limited travel and social interactions, thus reducing the opportunities for photography. Additionally, the weather was often uncooperative, hindering my ability to get out and take pictures. Another important reason is that I have become more selective in my photography. Rather than shooting everything that catches my eye, I now focus on capturing high-quality images that truly resonate with me. This shift in approach reflects my growth and evolution as a photographer.
Moreover, my web design firm has been quite busy this year, which has taken up a considerable amount of my time and energy. Balancing my professional commitments with my passion for photography has been challenging, but it has also been rewarding. The busyness of my work life has made the moments I spend with my camera even more precious and fulfilling.
Despite these challenges, I have managed to whittle down my collection of images and curate a selection of my favourite shots. These photos represent the best of my work from the past year and are now proudly displayed on my new website. This carefully curated selection is a testament to my dedication to photography and my commitment to sharing only the most compelling images with my audience.
Creating this new website has been a labour of love. It has allowed me to reflect on my journey as a photographer and to appreciate the beauty in the moments I have captured. I hope that visitors to my new site will enjoy viewing these images as much as I enjoyed taking them. This site is not just a portfolio of my work; it is a celebration of the art of photography and the unique perspectives it offers.
In conclusion, my new photography website marks a new chapter in my photographic journey. It is a space dedicated to showcasing the very best of my work, reflecting both my artistic vision and my growth as a photographer. As I continue to update Beingthere Photo with a broader array of images, this new site will serve as a curated gallery of my finest photographs. I invite you to explore this new collection and experience the world through my lens.
