when shooting outdoors. I think it’s the perfect Portrait lens. I love how the images come out and the bokeh when shooting at a shallow depth of fields.
Who influenced you the most? Is there any other photographer that you consider as a kind of idol?
Back when I first started photography, I was inspired by the work of David Lachapelle. I was intrigued by how he uses lighting and color in his images.
What, in your opinion, is most important to consider while shooting portrait pictures?
Since the face is the first thing that people noticed, I think it’s important to consider the face. It has to be in focus.
Which editing software do you usually use? As for how good would you describe your skills in that software?
I use Lightroom, Capture One, and photoshop. Although I’m just as good as any photo retoucher,
I try not to depend on them. I think too many photographers depend on editing tools way too much these days. My ultimate goal is to produce images that doest require any editing. I started photography using film I didn’t have much room for error. I put much more value n preproduction than post-production.
In your free time, what kind of pictures do you like to shoot, and which ones do you avoid?
In my free time, I love to shoot creative and artistic portraits.
Are there any events/circumstances that changed the way you view photography?
Nope, not at all. From my, perspective Photographer is all about lighting. A photographer uses light and or manipulate light to create images. That will never change.
What is the best advice you have for someone who just started their photography career? Any mistakes you made and would advise them on?
I only have one piece of advice. Fall in love with lighting, learn it, understand it and learn what tools you can use to manipulate it. There will be many mistakes. There’s a lesson in each one. Just make sure you learn from your mistakes.
