Favourite subjects
I like taking photos of nature, especially the coastline, seas and oceans at sunset or sunrise. I like to highlight the beauty of the world.
How did you get into photography?
I had a dabble as a teenager, and 15 years ago I was given a small compact camera, which reignited my interest.
What do you love about photography?
The ability to see things in a different way, and the fact that it has taken me to several countries and has allowed me to meet interesting people.
Favourite photographers
I admire many travel photographers, and I also look up to artistic photographers in different genres, including skateboarding and surfing.
First camera
My first DSLR was a Canon EOS 500D.
Current kit
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, 50mm f/1.4 lens, the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, and the 135mm Sigma f/1.8 Art lens.
Favourite lens
Without doubt the 50mm. It is small, excellent for portraits and street photography, but also for landscapes.
Favourite accessory
A shoulder bag, which I won. It holds my camera and lenses, and some clothing when I travel.
Dream purchase
I would love to try out some of the newer mirrorless cameras.
What software do you use?
Adobe Lightroom Classic.
Favourite tips
Practice as much as possible, take your camera everywhere, learn from friends and other photographers, don’t be afraid to try new things, and make sure you have fun.
Where do you find inspiration?
Through travel. If I stay in one place too long, I lose the motivation to go out and take photos. I try to meet local photographers in the places I visit to explore these new destinations.
