I resigned from my work here abroad in 2016 for a personal reason. I just got married at that time and we are expecting also an angel. Aside from our little savings, I need to work but nobody wanted to hire me locally. So, I keep my self busy for a moment by taking portrait pictures of our neighbor for free and posted it on my social media accounts. To my surprised, one of my Facebook friend sent me a private message and asking my photography rate for a pre-wedding photoshoot. At first I am hesitant because I'm not that good and it's my hobby only. But in the end, I accepted the challenge and I remember, my very first talent fee was 500 pesos or around 10$. And then my very first paid client liked it and recommended me to their friends and the rest is history. That's the beginning of my journey as a photographer. And I was able to provide all our needs for 1 year of taking pictures and memories of my clients. After 1 year, I tried my luck to send an email to my previous Boss abroad if they will still accept me if I will come back. And they said YES. So, I am here again and working with them for 4 years now. *The photo below was one of my wedding clients before. I'm not that good but thankful that they all still hired me. #myphotomystory #hobbyistphotographer
