Before making the official decision to switch, I decided to take one fine art class, along with one advertising class just to make sure I make the right choice. Though I really liked the work I made in the fine art class, I was much more fond of the ad class once I discovered food photography.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-134 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beki6-300x237.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beki6-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beki6-768x607.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pj.rit.edu\/kosovo\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beki6.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After I became vegan in 2014 (after being a vegetarian since 2007) I became obsessed with cooking and food as a whole, but I never really thought of turning that love into a career.
