Are bloggers sell-outs? Has everything turned into an advertisement?
.
Blogging is not my full-time job. When I'm given invites or products, I'll try them and do my research before posting my articles. I only share products I personally love myself and do not give oxygen to brands, products or people I do not fancy.
.
Blogging is not "receiving free stuff just for photos". Researching, photo-taking, writing and editing takes time and effort and often just putting up one post on Instagram can take up to 2/3 days of work. We have to scout locations, build personal relations and constantly learn new skills to keep up with the times and the ever changing algorithm. Magazines have teams, most bloggers work individually, with the occasional photographer. My time and effort is not free; hosting domain, attending blogging workshops, equipments and the props you see in my photos come out from my own pocket.
.
So this is not "taking photo for free stuff" or a "get rich quick" scheme. Its a long process and a ton of work. But why do I do it? Simply for the love of creating content and sharing them with you. It may be hard to wrap your head around this but I don't do this for the "free stuff", the money or for "fame" (lol). If you're blogging for any of those reasons, guuurl, you're gonna be sorely disappointed.
