Let me confess something today.
I’ve always loved photography. Like, deeply.
Give me a nice background, good lighting, and my phone… I’ll snap myself with the confidence of a tourist in Dubai 😎😂
But the moment someone says,
“Come let’s take a picture together!” Especially ladies,
my whole system will just restart like a faulty laptop 😭🤣
I don’t know why, but group photos used to stress me.
I’d suddenly forget how to smile, how to pose, how to even stand.
One second I’m taking clean solo shots, next second I’m looking like someone who got dragged into the picture by mistake 😂
And ladies?
Ah! Their camera expectations are high o.
Before you even blink, they’ve already asked:
“Wait, my hair is okay?”
“Is my angle fine?”
“Snap again, I moved.”
“Let me check it.”
“No, no, snap another one.”
Before you know it, 29 pictures and not a single one approved 😭🤣
Because of all these, I became a solo-photo lover.
I loved photography… but only when I was the photographer or the only person in the frame, especially taking selfies.
But recently I realized something:
I can’t continue like that forever.
I can’t be avoiding group pictures like I owe the camera money 😂
So now I’m learning slowly, to take photos with people, even ladies.
I’m learning to smile normally, pose calmly, and not act like weird in photos like I’m being forced into a family meeting I didn’t plan for 😅
Growth is real sha.
And who knows?
One day I might even be the one saying, “Come, let’s take a picture together!” 😎📸
Anyone else prefer taking pictures alone? Or is it just me that was running from group photos like assignment? 😂
