Hermela Girma taking photos in nature

My Photography Journey

Hello, I'm Hermela Girma. My photography journey began unexpectedly about two years ago...

I remember it clearly during my first year of university, the night before a final exam, I found myself taking random pictures of nature instead of studying. That spontaneous moment sparked something in me.

Since then, I've been capturing nature whenever I find interesting subjects or have free time. What started as an unplanned hobby has become a passion. I don't overthink it when I see beauty in nature, I simply capture it.

One of my dreams is to photograph the night sky with sharp, clear details. While I haven't achieved that yet, I'm determined to keep trying until I get that perfect shot.

What Inspires My Lens

Animals

Capturing wildlife in their natural habitats, especially twin animals or unique creatures.

Trees & Plants

The textures and patterns in bark, leaves, and especially water droplets on foliage.

Water Elements

From serene lakes to dramatic waterfalls, and those perfect dewdrops I'm still chasing.

Night Sky

My current challenge - capturing the stars and celestial beauty with crisp clarity.
