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

 

I use a Nikon D600 with Nikon prime lenses (28mm,50mm and 85mm). I like to use remote flash (SB700) with softbox (Lastolite).

 

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

 

I like everything in my camera. I’m very happy with it and I don’t have any plans to change it soon.

 

What is your favourite lens, and why?

 

I always use prime lenses, maybe the 50mm is my favourite. I like to get close for my photos and I think the zoom is not necessary for me. I am the zoom.

 

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

 

When I travel I always bring some extra batteries and memory cards. Of course I’ll carry my camera, lenses,flash, tripods and softbox. This is a lot of weight for my shoulders but it’s worth it!

 

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

 

I use Adobe Lightroom to edit the raw files. I finish the post-processing in photoshop, but not always.

 

How long have you been taking photographs? How do you find inspiration?

 

I’ve been taking photos for ten years. My inspiration started with travels. First with traditional travels with sightseeing but soon I realized that what inspired me in travels and photography was the people.

 

How do you take your pictures?Which style of photography do you like the most, and why?

 

What I enjoy most is taking portraits. If I have the time, I like to meet the person, have a little chat and the when we both are comfortable prepare the settings and shot!

 

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

 

I have my own career as software consultant and developer. I don’t have a clear goal with photography, I just keep moving forward.

 

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

 

http://bit.ly/18m9sFq It’s called “Ready for a new day”, I took in Varanasi a special place for me. I wanted to make that photo, so I strolled down the ghats of the Ganges until the moment appeared in front of me.

 

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.

 

In the last years I’ve been more into portrait photography but I love street photography.

 

Are there any photography websites that you visit regularly?

 

Sometime I read photographic blogs but it’s very difficult to find good articles, so I prefer to read a good book or follow my favourite photographers on social networks and learn from them.

 

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

 

Try with distinct genres and find the one you are comfortable with, improve it and enjoy.

 

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

 

I recently found a contact in flickr and I was amazed but some of his photos. He knows how to creat a magic moment with light. http://www.flickr.com/people/rzleytheshoots_jr/
