What kind of equipment (camera body, lens, filters, flash, tripod, cleaning equipment other) do you use?

 

I used canon 5 DMarkII for camera, and canon135mm f.2, 50mm f1.8 and 17-40mm f.4 for lenses.
I also used canon 4360EXII flash, YN pt04 for trigger, silver and white umbrella with lightstand and reflector

 

What do you like and dislike about your equipment, specially your camera, and how would you improve it?

 

I think my camera is a very powerful camera, it has everything I need on photoshoot, great resolution images and videos, its full frame and work in any kind of weather even on rainy day
dislike, it doesn’t have building flash which sometimes I need, nothing to be complain about.

 

What is your favourite lens, and why?

 

Its canon 135mm f.2, I think it suits me best with my photography interest which is portrait with natural light.
This lens is sharp and have creamy bokeh and also create beautiful colors.

 

When you travel, what is in your essential photographic kit bag?

 

Definitively my camera body and my wide lens: 17-40mm f.4 and my flash light 430exII.

 

What kind of software/tools do you use for post-processing, if any?

 

Adobe photoshop cs3.

 

How long have you been taking photographs? How do you find inspiration? How do you take your pictures?

 

Probably around 4 years.
I find inspirations from many things like people around, magazines, others photographers works, music, movies even from just a random conversations… many things.

 

Which style of photography do you like the most, and why?

 

Portrait and fashion because I love capturing emotions from people and make them feel they are beautiful and since I love fashion I also want to captured some fashionable portraits too.

 

What goal are you working towards within your photography and when will you know you have reached it?

 

I always want to collaborate with new creative people and expand my ability on capturing portraits, I also want to learn more about lighting.
I think I never set the bar, I just keep pushing myself … no limit.

 

Looking at your own work, which piece is your favourite? Why? Please provide a link to the picture.

 

I have a lot actually, but if I have to pick it will be this one: http://fav.me/d6lvspr
because it portrait emotion and it was pretty hard to shoot because me and model need to go drowned a bit in the cold ocean but I’m glad we got the result we want.

 

 

Does your work fit into any one or more distinct genres (nature, landscape, long-exposure, black-and-white, infra-red, urban, artistic, macro, vintage, vernacular, social, street)? If other, please specify.
