Chasing the Click

I’ve always admired Peter McKinnon — photographer, filmmaker, storyteller. In one of his short films, The Bucket Shot, he shares the journey behind capturing his dream frame. What stayed with me wasn’t just the shot, it was the journey behind it.

I could relate deeply.

Photography started casually for me. I took decent photos on my phone, just for fun. But everything changed the day I borrowed a friend’s camera. I remember pressing the shutter and realizing there was an entire world of creativity I hadn’t seen before. The depth, the control, the art,  I was stunned by what was possible.

That moment stayed with me.

During my trip to Japan, I promised myself I would buy a camera. As a beginner, I didn’t know much, but after researching, I chose the Canon M50, a perfect starting point. Since then, whenever I get the chance, I carry my camera, capture moments, and share them on my Instagram (@shrestha_av).

Watching creators like Peter makes one thing clear: sometimes the journey is long and exhausting, but it all becomes worth it for that one perfect frame.
