Everyone’s Talking About What This Shy Photographer Did.
This is an amazing story and beautiful yet strange photography.
A couple of years ago, Kyle Thompson became interested in photography. Unfortunately, his anxiety prevented him from talking to people, so he opted to experiment with self-portraits.
He would spend hours, even days, walking alone through forests and exploring abandoned houses. He’s been to over 50 of them. After taking hundreds of photos, he posted some of his best to Reddit. From there, his life changed forever.
During college, Kyle was interested in photography but had no idea what to do with his life.
He didn’t think he could survive as an artist.

After his work went viral, Kyle decided to dive into photography full time. He even quit his job delivering pizzas. Good choice.
Kyle’s unique self-portraits were captured with a Canon 60D, a 50mm 1.8 lens, a tripod, and a timer.
He is now living his dream as a photographer. His work can be seen in multiple magazines. You can visit Kyle’s site, like him on Facebook, or check out his Flickr account.
You should definitely share this incredible photography as well as Kyle’s story.
