WHAT’S YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
BACKGROUND – HOW DID YOU GET<br />
STARTED?<br />
My history of photography started with my<br />
Dad – He loved to take photographs of myself<br />
and my brother, my family in general, using<br />
his Russian Kiev-4 and taught me photography<br />
from a young age. I loved his camera, the look<br />
of it, the smell of it, the magic of it capturing<br />
the world...<br />
I have a photo of myself aged about 10 with<br />
his camera around my neck and I’m proud to<br />
have it in my possession now, I know there’s not<br />
much use for an old mechanical camera these<br />
days but Dad gifting it to me was the perfect<br />
symbolic gesture.<br />
As a teenager, I purchased an Exakta VX llb. I<br />
really loved the magic of making photographs<br />
– being closed in a dark bathroom and using<br />
the chemicals to make an image appear. You<br />
stay there and you are the first one to see the<br />
photo appearing – it is absolutely magic! I will<br />
always remember those moments.<br />
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU SHOOT WITH?<br />
I have 3 cameras, a Nikon D7100 with lenses<br />
Nikkor 18-200mm, Tokina AT-X 11-16mm, Tokina<br />
AT-X 100mm Macro, Sigma 150-500mm APO<br />
and tripod Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 190 CF with<br />
Hydrostatic Ballhead and Hoya Polarising Filter.<br />
I also have a Sony NEX-5R with 16-50mm lens<br />
and a Sony HDR-AS50 Action Cam.<br />
