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

 

I mostly use film cameras, 35mm and medium format cameras but planning to try large format too. I use at this moment Pentax Asahi ES II with 50mm/1.8 and 135mm/2.8, lenses that I also use on digital cameras with an adapter (Nikon1 V1 and my first camera Pentax K10D)

 

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

 

The price of the lenses usually but I use manual lenses instead so it turns out ok 🙂

 

What is your favourite lens, and why?

 

My favorite in the old Pentacon 135/2.8 lens, it has a special feel to it, i love it’s soft focus and bokeh.

 

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

 

I use only my Nikon1 kit with 10-30mm and 30-110mm.

 

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

 

I am currently using software to process my images but my goal is to process them only in the darkroom.

 

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

 

I an photographic for 5 years on and off but I have been studying arts for 10 years now. I prefer domestic interiors because they give a feeling of authenticity to the image, I usually find inspiration in the things I read. I photograph things the way I’d like them to be seen by the others.

 

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

 

It’s the nude photography, for me the human body is the most interesting to work with, it gives you endless possibilities and it’s a challenge to photograph it in unusual ways.

 

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

 

At this moment the goal is to make every photo better than the previous one. On long term to make images that will be remembered.

 

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

 

My definitely favorite remains the ‘Vase’, a photo that i took on my birthday 3 years ago because it’s the closest to what my goal is in photography.

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.

 

I also enjoy street photography by my main body of work remains fine art nude photography.

 

Are there any photography websites that you visit regularly?

 

Yes, a few but I prefer to study the classics and read as much as possible because that’s where I find my inspiration.

 

What is the one most important lesson that you have learned since you started taking photographs?

 

That you must experiment in order to know what fits you.

 

And finally, what other interesting photographers would you like to see in this blog?

 

Oh, there are too many that I appreciate for their work in various fields of photography, I couldn’t name just a few.
