How did you get started in photography?
“I began my photography journey at the age of 10 in 1959 when my mother brought me a camera home from a business trip to the Soviet Union.”
What was your first camera?
“The camera my mother brought me from the Soviet Union was a Ljubite12.”
Who is one photographer that inspires you and why?
“One of my favorite photographers is Serge Ramelli because his images are similar to the style I like to create. I have taken a number of his online courses.”
What’s the first thing you look for in composing your image?
“I haven’t chosen any particular genre in my images. My mood guides what I see and photograph. I process my images in Photoshop using light masks and applying color theory.”
