Visual Progress vs Scale Weight What Matters Most for Muscle Growth

I have been lifting heavy for about six months now and the scale has barely moved, which was really bothering me at first. However, I took some progress photos yesterday and compared them to when I started. The difference is actually quite shocking despite the weight being almost the same.

It is a good reminder that body composition is much more important than just the number on the scale. I am seeing more muscle definition in my shoulders and my trousers are fitting better around the waist. I think I am successfully going through a body recomposition phase.

How often do you all take progress photos? I find that doing it every week is too much because I do not see changes, but maybe once a month is better. I am also curious if anyone uses specific apps to track their visual changes over time. It is much more motivating than the scale.
