What do you love to photograph the most? I am still drawn to landscape and nature, but these days I prefer to have people and other elements that tell a unique story of the moment. Much of my recent work has been street photography.
What is one thing you have learned that has improved your photography? Getting the technical aspects of photography and post processing under my belt were key elements in being able to make photographs my own but none of that can ever replace the ability to see and capture a photograph or a moment. I’d much rather see a technically imperfect photo than a boring, same-as-everybody-else shot with perfect technicals.
Advice you’d give to others wanting to grow in their photography skills: Pick up your camera every day. Continue to grow your technical abilities with expert help from people such as Kevin (I always introduce him as my guru!). Get a camera that you love to carry and use but don’t get something new until you’ve truly mastered what you have, whether it’s a body or a lens. See the world as if any moment can be a photograph but only capture what moves you and tells a story of unique or special place, time, event, feeling or emotion.
