Some Things About Me!

 Hello guys! First of all, welcome to my blog! :) I bet you are wondering who this girl is so i'm going to go ahead and tell you. My name is Irene Stylianou. I'm a 17 year old and currently live in Cyprus but i'm half Finish too! If there is anything i love more that photography, it's ballet! I've been dancing since i was 3.5 years old and can't get my self to stop. :p It's my only way to escape from reality for a while and loose myself in the music.

  My passion for photography started just over a year ago when i was sort of forced into a photography class in my school. The whole year around i literally hated that class until one day our teacher took us at a place near our school and told us to take pictures of the place. When i finally got myself to start i just couldn't stop! I felt so free! My creativity at that moment just hit the roof and i had so many ideas of how i could photograph the place in unique ways. From that day on, i knew in my heart that photography was my passion and that's what i wanted to do. I set a goal for myself to one day be able to show people, the world in a way they never saw it before.

  So now i found my passion and knew that i wanted to work as a photographer and particularly a landscape photographer but the only thing between me and my dream was my parents. I knew they would never agree for me to study photography and move to another country to make a career out of it and i was right. When i told my mom my plan she totally dismissed it and told me i should go get a dissent degree first and have photography as a hobby. Since i couldn't do anything to change their mind i started taking part in competitions, going out and practicing with my phone as often as possible and by Christmas i was able to get my first camera!! :D

  I'm going to college this fall to be a Psychologist but that doesn't stop me from being passionate about photography. It's what i want to do and this blog is my way of doing it! I want this blog to be my diary of where i keep track of my progress, share and receive tips and ideas with other photographers and find people who share the same passion as me!  I hope you enjoy my little corner on the internet and get a little inspired to follow your dreams until the end :)
