Why I Do What I Do

I was thinking, “what are my goals?” “why am I doing what I do?” “what do I aspire to be someday?”

My name is Jonathan Richard and I am 23 years old. I am a freelance photographer/ videographer.

Why do I take pictures?:

I guess it’s because it’s my expression outlet. I draw, sing and dance to let loose but at times where I can’t do those things, I take pictures. I love coming up with concepts and ideas for shoots. It’s a whole lot of stress but it’s always so satisfying to create something.

When I picked up my first camera, I just shot random shit and tried to learn to basics of the camera. As time went on, I found that my ideas and pictures kinda inspired people to pick up their cameras or even their phones and try to capture beautiful photos. Seeing people be inspired or just be triggered by my photos is inspiring. Apart from inspiring people, I also get to spread God’s love to people who need it. God gave me a gift to see things unlike anyone else and I intend on using it for His glory.

Aspiration?:

I aspire to be one of the best photographers in Malaysia and maybe even the world someday. Reaching the level in my career will give me an audience I can reach out to and do some good.
