Inspiring Photographer Jana Luo<br />
By Taya Iv<br />
1. When did you start taking<br />
photographs and what drew<br />
you to it?<br />
My photography journey didn’t<br />
really start until April 2013. I had<br />
liked taking photos for a while,<br />
but only used phones and a<br />
couple of compact cameras.<br />
Early in 2013, I had a very<br />
strong feeling that I should get<br />
more involved in photography.<br />
Then I started to do some<br />
research on cameras. Eventually,<br />
I bought an entry level full<br />
frame DSLR camera, the Canon<br />
6D. Since then, I don't know<br />
how I'd live without my cameras!<br />
They bring a whole new<br />
world to my life!<br />

I have been to the balloons over<br />
Waikato for 3 years, this year I decided<br />
to fly in a balloon. The sunrise<br />
coming through when all the balloons<br />
are floating up, brightening<br />
them, is incredible.<br />

This is one of my favorite<br />
places in NZ. It's not easy<br />
for me to get up there, but<br />
I was lucky enough to get<br />
a super calm and clear<br />
day. The sunset and the reflection<br />
are just perfect! I<br />
love the clear sky at night,<br />
amazing stars, it's like living<br />
in a wonder world.<br />
2. Your images thrive in the<br />
landscape genre. What appeals<br />
to you the most about<br />
landscape photography?<br />
Like many photographers, as<br />
a beginner, I liked to try everything.<br />
I went out to shoot<br />
people, landscapes, cityscapes,<br />
and also tried macro<br />
photography etc. About<br />
one year later, I started to<br />
find my main interest which<br />
is landscape photography. I<br />
realized that when I am going<br />
out shooting the beautiful<br />
nature, I am not just enjoying<br />
photography, the most<br />
important thing is to be part<br />
of the nature I love. I always<br />
have strong feelings towards<br />
what I shoot. I want to use my<br />
cameras to find out the connection<br />
between me and the<br />
world I live in.<br />
