  • I second having a decent 50mm equivalent lens for starters, they’re pretty versitile and compact.

    I personally quite like being constrained to one focal length, I feel like it really taught me to be more deliberate about my positioning, framing and composition, but you’ll have to figure out whether that’s a style of photography you enjoy.

    Having a zoom for the flexibility is definitely also nice and fun to try out and invaluable in some settings

    In the end, I guess it really comes down to what you end up taking photos of, and which approach is more fun to you.

    Have fun! :)






  • I was lucky enough to have an environment (flatmates, close friends) where I felt comfortable just trying around with presentation, names, pronouns, where I also felt safe about them not gossiping about me or anything like that.

    And, when trying something new, it’s normal to not have it quite figured out and there’s going to be things that you’re not sure about and that don’t stick, but in my experience, there were also some things that I noticed felt great and right and good.

    You can start with small things, like nail polish in nb colors or stuff like that :)

    Just one last note: I totally get looking up to other nb folk that seem to have it all figured out, but: a) they probably haven’t! and b) it’s important to think about what you want and feel comfortable with. Making baby steps is fine, figuring out some things you like on other people feel awkward on you is fine!

    wishing you all the best in trying stuff out <3
