Q - What camera did you use for Cameras and Coffee?

A. - I used a Pentax SLR K-200 digital camera.

Q. How long have you been taking photos?

A. 4 Years

Q. Why did you start photography?

A . I’ve been taking photos since the late nineties and early 2000s when I picked up my first camera but I didn’t actually get serious about photography in terms of wanting to exhibit my photographs in places etc until 2008.

Q. What motivates you when it comes to photography?

A. My motivation comes from everything that I see around me, the places I go, the people I meet, the way things are constantly changing, the great work that other photographers are putting out there, to never know what I’ll see from day to day, and always trying to capture the best photograph for the moment. 

Q. Describe your photography style.

A. I would say my photography style is photographing urban landscapes in cities, which includes portrait photography, still life, and architectural photography. Whatever catches my eye at the moment, the location I’m shooting at, the composition of the subject, the light, the color, perspective, subject matter, and the angle that I’m shooting from all go into my personal style in photography.

Q. Explain your Instagram name. 

A. My Instagram name is a combination of my first and last name. I came up with it because it’s similar to my website and I thought it would be easy for people to remember.

Q. What are your photo goals for the next year?

A. My goals for the next year is to keep improving my photography skills, and possibly work on a photography project and book.
