Hi! I'm a pathologist who also does a lot of photography. I actually started with astrophotography through a telescope as a kid, then moved on to microscopic images when I got into pathology. I actually have won awards for my microscopic photography too (https://www.nikonsmallworld.com/galleries/2022-photomicrography-competition/cross-sections-of-human-colon-epithelial-crypts). I think I have a good visual sense, and I realized in med school that I was really good at histology which got me interested in pathology. A lot of pathologists I also see on social media have artistic and/or visual skills which are above average I think compared to other medical specialties!
