My Experience

I’m fond of photography since why childhood, it all started when I began photographing my younger sister Hanna, dressing her up in different outfits from our mom’s wardrobe and mine, creating unique looks, and experimenting with lighting to bring my scenes to life. After joining the FixThePhoto team in 2018, I got an opportunity to become a photo tricks, trends analyst and tester. After trying all these tips and ideas on myself or my colleagues from FixThePhoto, I write engaging posts describing the ins and outs of the trending technique or equipment.

As a part of the FixThePhoto team, I spend my days reviewing popular tools, apps, and recreating photo hacks for beginners. I work with an amazing team to research trends and give everyone interested in photography honest and helpful feedback. I always snap a Polaroid after bringing a photoshoot idea to life. It’s old-fashioned, but I love having each concept on paper and collecting those moments. If I have free time, I love trying TikTok trends, knitting, and reading detective novels while walking on my treadmill at home.

My Expertise Includes:

  • TikTok and YouTube hacks
  • Photo composition ideas and beginner tips
  • Editing apps, gadgets, gear for artists
  • Comprehensive tutorials

Technology and Tools I Use

To discover and test new trends, I require the right tools. For photo editing, I rely heavily on Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop if I do it on my laptop, they’re perfect for trying out trendy filters, advanced retouching techniques, etc.

When it comes to capturing portraits or experimenting with bokeh effects, my Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L lens is a game-changer. Since I’m fond of testing video techniques in CapCut outdoors or on the move, my Peak Design tripod has become a must-have. It’s lightweight, sturdy, and fits perfectly into my versatile toolkit, making sure I’m ready for anything.

At FixThePhoto, I’m part of a team that tests gear, dives into trends, and brainstorms creative ideas to help anyone who is into the art of digital photography. My goal? Simplify the ever-changing world of content creation on social media and make it more engaging.

Let me know if you’d like tips or gear advice, I love helping others bring their ideas to life or maybe test your own ideas.
