BEHIND THE LENS
My passion in photography started when I was in my early 20s when I bought our first family digital camera. It was a simple point and shoot cam with 2 megapixel and powered by 2 AA batteries. I was really fascinated how a photograph can capture the beauty of life. It really makes me happy. I enjoy all forms of photography. For me, a picture tells a thousand stories and memories that can last forever.
From that time, I started shooting anything. I studied to edit using Adobe photoshop by myself. By the time I was able to save some money, I bought my very first DSLR. I got a good chance of buying a cheap one in Japan and from there my love of photography grew from shooting insects to landscapes to covering events and portraits of different people.
