Your Name:\u00a0Mario Rojas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Type of Camera:\u00a0 Canon EOS 5D\u00a0Mark III<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you love to photograph the most? <\/strong>I love shooting boxing and my kids soccer games the most. I like taking action shots and anything having to do with my kids and family. I have taken an interest to studio lighting after taking that class with Kevin Gourley. I wish I had more time to do this type of photography to get better at it. I have taken some pictures of boxers with studio lights on my own and they came out ok. I tried to remember everything Kevin showed me but I found out I still need more work at it.<\/p>\n

What is one thing you have learned that has improved your photography? \u00a0 <\/strong>I have learned to shoot in manual mode which is all I shoot in now. By taking a few classes I have learned to post process better than I used to and of course lighting. The most important thing I have learned though is taking sharper pictures. I go back to when I first started taking pictures a couple of years ago and I thought my pictures were great. I now look at them and realize how wrong I was.<\/p>\n

Advice you\u2019d give to others wanting to grow in their photography skills: <\/strong>The advice I would give others is practice, practice, practice and if you are still struggling take classes from Kevin Gourley. The best thing I ever did was start taking his classes and what a difference it has made.<\/p>\n
