Photography / Hobby
I have always been fascinated by photography ever since I took classes on the subject as a requirement for Graphic Design. I love the intricacies that accompany the medium despite the accessability that photography has today. I am a very detail orientated person so having lots of control on how I want my photos to look is something I appreciate when it comes to shooting in Raw formats.
I gravitated towards automotive and landscape photography, while also doing convention and event photography whenever the opportunity arises. Although I never tried using photography as a side job, I do have experience shooting for friends and families for their events and personal projects.
Recently I have found a liking to old CCD cameras of the early 2000s for their nostalgic feeling and ease of use. I am currently trying to collect more CCD cameras and hope to someday try my hands on vintage film cameras.
