When you say your hobby is photography, there are a few questions you're bound to be asked. Let's focus on the top three questions that are most frequently asked. Take a peek into the mind of a photography enthusiast.
What do you like to photograph?
According to a survey by cizucu, this is the most commonly asked question. If you were to answer, you might mention street photography or portrait photography. Street photography captures the hustle and bustle of the city, quiet alleys, and people's expressions, which is its charm. On the other hand, portrait photography is about drawing out the subject's personality and emotions, which is one of its joys. The subjects a photographer wants to capture often reflect their interests and tastes, making this a common question to find shared topics.

What kind of camera do you use?
This is another frequently asked question. There are major manufacturers like Sony, Nikon, and Canon, each with its own features. For example, Sony's mirrorless cameras are lightweight and high-performance, Nikon's DSLRs are robust and suitable for sports and wildlife photography. Some people also enjoy the rich texture and analog feel of film cameras.
Perhaps the person asking is considering starting photography and is looking for recommendations.

What's the joy of photography?
Finally, this might be the hardest question to answer. The most common answer is that photography is a means of recording and preserving memories. Of course, everyone takes photos, but having photography as a hobby might mean thinking more deeply about preserving these memories.
