When I walk around, there are always things that catch my eye. It’s usually colours, shapes, shadows, how the light falls in a certain way. That’s how I got into photography. I wanted to learn how to capture those things, moments. Learn how to do it in a visually interesting way. Because taking a photo of an interesting subject is one thing, but taking a captivating photo is something else. So I “borrowed” my dad’s dusty Nikon & started taking classes & workshops. Ten years and 3 cameras later, I’m still in love with the art.

I’m curious. Photographers, what made you start to photograph?

    My father worked with Ansel Adams after years of teaching art and studying industrial design. He also developed satellite footage for NASA during his time in the Air Force.

    So I got into it from a very early age and had access to a multi-station black and white darkroom my entire childhood.

      Ansel Adams! NASA! Multi-station darkroom! Not sure if this expression is being used in English, but in my mother language we would say that you “fell with your butt into the butter”… :D
