Experience.

I cannot complain. I got to shoot most of the time the things I like. I have started with street photography (back in the “iphonogaphy” days) followed by product and fashion photography (both outdoor and studio). Around that time I got lucky enough to work on promoting hotels and having to set up some serious system with a large volume of work. As for travel photography, it is naturally the utmost fulfilling experience. Today I focus on my 5 favorite fields with my clients.

Gear?

Not that it matters. But it does. Especially since I do not shoot in studio very often I allow myself to shoot with my favorite gear and depending on the commissioned work or on my personal goals, I always choose a Leica. I’ve got quite a few.

Why photography?

Photography is life. There is nothing I would rather be doing. At that point it’s like a sweet superpower, you get to see the world, people, interactions, life as it is, and all with your unique perspective. It’s never-ending.
