Read the article about three people ( $$\(\mathbf{A}-\mathbf{C}\)$$ ) who are interested in photography. Then answer Question 9(a)-(h). I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember. I really think it helps me show my creative side. As digital photography has become common, and cameras have got smaller and more powerful, what was once an expensive hobby has become something that large numbers of people regularly enjoy. I'm lucky enough to have a top-of-the-range camera now. Of course, I didn't have anything expensive at first, but I still got a huge amount of enjoyment from my first simple camera, and that's what got me interested. There have been some displays from really famous photographers in the city where I live, and although I love looking at their pictures, I try not to let them influence me too much. I think it's important to focus on taking pictures in my own way - that's what keeps things interesting for me! I really love photography, and being creative with my images. I can take pictures of almost anything and make them look better by managing settings on my camera or using computer software. It's really fun, although I think my approach is a bit more advanced than the typical things most people do for social media posts. People are also constantly taking pictures to boast about what they're doing! I'm more serious about my hobby. When I want to take pictures, mostly at weekends, I pack up my camera and go and plan my shots carefully. I'm not someone who takes hundreds of photos hoping that one will be good. I know taking pictures is something I do well, and it might sound strange, but this has made me feel that I can take on all sorts of other challenges too, like sports, for example. I have a passion for photography for various reasons. Firstly, photos tell stories about places people have been to, or things they've done. I'm sure my friends get a much clearer idea of what l've been doing when I show them my photos. People say 'a picture paints a thousand words' after all! Photography has also helped open my mind by encouraging me to consider common objects in new and unexpected ways, as I like taking pictures from unusual angles, or strange close-ups - things people don't expect. I read a lot about famous photographers, and the more I read, the more I'm amazed at the different styles, ideas and techniques. There are more than enough to keep me busy! If you're interested in taking up photography as a hobby, I'd say the best thing to do is to just get out there and start taking pictures of different things as soon as you can!
