Instagram Photography account | Creativity

I am really interested in photography and have been doing the same since past 2 years. I developed this interest in lockdown. I love the sky and the clouds and I started by clicking pictures of the sky and then slowing started taking pictures of everything around me. I had a collection of bunch of photos which I showed to my friends and family and got a lot of compliments about the same. Hence, I decided to create an Instagram account wherein I can showcase my hobby of photography.

LOs – 1, 2, 3, and 4

LO 1 = Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth
My strength is photography skills, though I feel I didn’t have enough knowledge about social media. So, I seeked help from one of my friend. Initially, she posted few pictures and then taught me how to do it. So, knowing my weakness helped me to learn new skills.

LO 2 = Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process
Since, I developed this hobby in lockdown, I was consistent in clicking pictures everyday. But when school started, it became hard for me to do it consistently. This was a challenge I faced, so I tried to manage my time and take out at least 10 minutes for photography. Eventually, I got consistent again and I even noticed an improvement in my photography skills and also developed time-management skills.

LO 3 – Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience
I tried to be as organized as I can throughout the propose. For that, before creating an account I jotted down a few names for the account and sent it to my friends, to know which one is better. Then I collected all the pictures I had clicked over the span of 2 years and kept them together in a folder and liked the ones which I wanted to post. Then I posted once a week. Organizing helped me a lot in initiating and planning this experience as I had everything in one place and didn’t had to go around looking for pictures.

LO 4 = Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences
As mentioned before, I lost my consistency. So, after regaining it, it was necessary for me to stay committed to being consistent. Till now, I have clicked around 120 pictures and have made 10 post. I want to stay committed to clicking more pictures and posting them for as long as I can.

Overall, this experience made me really proud of myself, as I got to know my strengths and also got to explore and showcase my hobby.
