How did you get started in photography?
“I started training in a camera store in 1980 and met someone from a photo club there who piqued my interest.”
What was your first camera?
“My first camera was a Nikon F3, which I still use today.”
Who is one photographer that inspires you and why?
“There is no special photographer who inspires me. But I look at pictures and my gut does the rest. That’s why I haven’t decided to stick with one genre anymore.”
What’s the first thing you look for in composing your image?
“In my experience, listening to my gut is the best rule for me when it comes to composing. Look through the viewfinder and if you like the picture … click.”
