Social media hasn’t just forced me to shoot vertical – it’s rewired my eye for photo composition

For years, I've been a relatively passive observer of social media. My digital presence is limited, and I rarely engage actively. However, a curious development has recently caught my attention: a shift in my approach to photography composition. Despite being an avid photographer, I've found myself increasingly inclined to shoot vertically, a trend that's been subtly reinforced by my limited social media use.

This shift in my photographic style has been both surprising and intriguing, as it seems to be a natural evolution rather than a deliberate choice. The rise of vertical-oriented media on social media platforms might have played a role in my newfound preference for shooting images in portrait orientation, making it easier and more intuitive for me to capture compelling photos.
