I started doing photography when I was twelve years old. I got my first camera then, and it was a 36mm Zorki-6. I have done my part of the dark-room magic and was a first adopter of early digital SLRs. I was shooting in different genres throughout my career but fell in love with grand landscapes. The more I progress in my profession, the more I take inspiration from Ansel Adams. Primarily because of his personality, human and professional values. First time I saw his presentation, and was blown away by the difference the size and lighting make in perceiving the image. When I got back home, I started my experiments to achieve the same quality I saw at his gallery. I quickly realized that to get there, I must start from the very beginning. I must pay attention to acquiring the image in the maximum possible resolution. Secondly, I had to develop a processing technique to achieve a style and feel I was happy with. When it comes to image composition and editing, there is, unfortunately, no perfection, and I continue to work to develop my eye.
