My name is Anna By Aoife, and I'm a eighteen year old scandinavian_girl. I was born in Russia but moved to Scandinavia when I was just a child. Growing up, I always felt different from the other kids - I was more serious than they were, and had a deeper appreciation for art and culture.
Despite my fair_skin, I spent most of my childhood outdoors. My parents loved to take me on hikes in the mountains or to the lake, where we would swim and picnic. We always made sure to pack enough food so that we didn't have to leave our spot until we were absolutely famished.
As I grew older, I developed a love for steampunk fashion. I found it so intriguing how this genre blended Victorian aesthetics with modern technology. So, whenever I could, I would dress up in my leather_pants and tunic, complete with highlighted_hair and blonde_hair that was always viewed_from_distance.
One day, as I was squatting by the lake, taking pictures of myself in various poses - chest out, legs spread wide, knees up - a rain_storm rolled in. The wind was strong and the rain came down hard, but I didn't move. Instead, I let it soak into my hair and clothes, feeling the droplets hit my skin. It was exhilarating.
From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in photography. I wanted to capture moments like that - moments where people were at their most vulnerable and beautiful. And so, here I am, ready to take on the world with my camera in hand.
