Who am I and what is this project?

Hello! My name is Aleandro, and I’m excited to start this new project. Let me begin by telling you a little bit about myself, and then we’ll dive into the details of this new project/series.
Photography has always been a passion of mine. I remember when I was little, I would play with a point-and-shoot 35mm camera my Nonna had laying around the house. There was no film inside, which didn’t matter since I didn’t know how to use it, but I would “take pictures” of anything that caught my eye. Luckily, I ended up getting a digital camera years later that allowed me to start taking real photographs. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Over the last few years, I’ve been working on honing my style and figuring out exactly what I wanted and liked to photograph. Currently, I enjoy shooting suburban, street, and automotive photography with a vintage flair.
Recently, I haven’t been shooting much, and my cameras are just collecting dust — which brings us to this project. “Shoot More Photos” is exactly what it sounds like: I’m going to shoot more often, post more of the “imperfect” photographs, and experiment with more analog mediums. I want this to be a creative space to try new things that pertain to photography while documenting that journey.
As of right now, there is no set schedule for blog posts or any planned series of photographs, but once that gets ironed out, I will post it here and on my Instagram @its.grainorshine.
I hope you enjoy the content this project will produce, and if so, please consider following me on Instagram to stay up to date.
