Q: How long have you been photographing for?
A1: Short answer: Personally since 2003 / “Professionally” (I would loosely use that word) since the end of 2007.
A2: Long answer: I’ve always had a fascination with all things visual that formed a story. Growing up, my family always imagined that I will be a director when I grow up. During my early years of high school I started getting into design. I then took a photography elective in high school and ditched design. After high school I completed a Visual Arts degree majoring in photo media (which didn’t really teach me anything). During my second year of uni I started the business and have been shooting since!
Q: What got you into wedding/portrait photography?
A: The love for people and being able to be part of their story and documenting it for them! The trill of sensing, seeing and documenting a man’s heart flutter at the sight of his bride walking down the aisle. Also when the bride’s eyes flutter open with tears of joy when her lips part from her husband. I love it! :D
Q: Whats in your bag?
A:I shoot Canon because of my massive canons *flexes arms and fat thighs*. No really, I started on Canon, loved their colours and their easy functions.
