Since I was very young, my father has owned a freelance news business, which naturally piqued my videography interest. For years I spent time learning videography, buying new video cameras, and eventually working for my father’s business. It wasn’t until I was working for him that I realized I also liked the idea of photography, and so I purchased my first Nikon. I spent time making every mistake in the book, learning the hard way, and despising every photo I took. Eventually, I got the basics down and started photographing people. Finally, I became comfortable with my skills and decided that I wanted to do this for real. Since then, I haven’t looked back. I am continually learning new techniques, post-processing methods, and even some of the old-school tips and tricks when I come across a veteran photographer who is willing to share their knowledge with me!
