One of which is that I enjoy aesthetic images. I have always enjoyed playing around with angles, lighting, and perspective when taking photos for social media. I am excited to learn how to take those interests and turn them into something for others to enjoy. In the past I have taken most if not all of my photos on my phone. I am excited to learn how to use a more complex device while exploring more about photography. My hope for this photography class is to learn more about how to tell a story through pictures. This post is going to be made up of some pictures I have taken that I was happy with.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71gm8v4uPBL.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:368px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is the iPhone 13 I used to take photos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/photoclass.us\/28sophia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/08\/IMG_9053-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8\" style=\"width:414px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoclass.us\/28sophia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/08\/IMG_9053-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/photoclass.us\/28sophia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/08\/IMG_9053-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/photoclass.us\/28sophia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/08\/IMG_9053-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/photoclass.us\/28sophia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/08\/IMG_9053-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/photoclass.us\/28sophia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/08\/IMG_9053-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>I chose this picture because of the color scheme and perspective that it brings.
