Joana Freitas

A complete amateur in the photography world, but extremely passioned about stopping the time, seizing the moment and keeping it just to look at it over and over again. Proud owner - or borrower - of a camera since I could walk, my favourite pastime was wasting loads of film from dad’s old Nikon and making him developed them mostly to see a majority of out of focus images and the occasionally good one. High school queen of capturing moments (now everyone thanks me for having a camera on me all the time). Teenage owner of one of the first mobile phones with an attachable camera. Photography is an hobby in many forms - by doing it or just by looking at it, by editing it or just print it to put it up on a wall. iPhone is now my usual go to lens, but just because it’s convenient. I love single use cameras and I have a vintage Nikon that I unfortunately haven’t learned how to use properly. I don’t have enough to call myself a photographer, but I’m more than a simple ‘snapper’. Definitely a photophile. Someone convinced me to join and here I am. I hope you enjoy this journey.
