About me

Hi!

I’m Isaac, a keen, amateur young photographer in York. 

I've been taking photos since November 2021. I’m 15 and I really enjoy capturing the mix of historic and modern elements in the city. Through my camera lens, I explore the beauty of urban life, encouraging others to see the world from a fresh perspective. I saved up to buy a digital camera when I was 11, and I was drawn to capture unusual camera angles, unnoticed details, and interesting light levels. I regularly go out into York at the crack of dawn, capturing the city when it is just waking up.

I use a Nikon D3300, with Sigma 30mm, Nikon 18-55mm, 18-70mm, and 200-500mm lenses.

I started Instagram on my 11th birthday, and love sharing my photographic journey, along with short videos of me taking the photos, on there (@snapshots.by.isaac). I also share this on Facebook (Snapshots By Isaac)
