Q:
Tell us about creating this image. Where did you take it, when, and how much time did you spend creating it? Please feel free to add anything else you’d like to share here.
A:
I was traveling around Vietnam with a friend of mine, we walked a lot of kilometers to find some nice pictures to take.
Finally, in the very early morning, we arrived in an old port where there were some ladies stitching tons of nets. I didn’t want to bother the ladies while working, so I really had few seconds to take a shot, so I took my camera on a tripod holding it high above the lady and I used a remote control to shoot.
Q:
It seems like you don’t stick to one particular subject or style. Tell us more about why you seem to fluctuate between all different photography genres and subjects.
A:
As a professional photographer, I haven’t a genre, but I work in different sectors: food, still life, weddings, portraits, events, corporates, workshops, etc. When I’m not working, I love to travel and that’s my favorite moment to take pictures “for me”.
Q:
What sparked your initial interest in photography?
A:
I started nearly 10 years ago with panoramas and portraits while traveling around the world. then I started working with some professional photographers who called me as second photographer/assistant and here I am now after years, as a professional, too, and also as Nikon Ambassador and teacher, lately.
Q:
Do you have a dream subject?
A:
Honestly no, I love to create, travel and just be amazed about what I can see with my camera.
