1. Can you tell us something about yourself? Why did you want to learn photography?
2. When did you start learning it and what was your turning point?
ANSWER: “I started up first not as a photographer directly. It was just my hobby taking selfies and pictures of any subject that relates to me very well, like Shirts since I love Fashion. Next is Sand and Waves since I love traveling anywhere with beach. And lastly food. Any food will do as long as it captures my eyes and stomach it will do as my subject”
3. What made you decide to start the business?
ANSWER: “I decided to make this a personal business since I have networks in the industry like relatives which is a fashion designer and a lot of friends who is make up artist, they actually give me hint to the business. At first I just go with them to take sample shots of their clients and sooner or later their clients already refer me to their family members and friends.”
4. What are the challenges that you had when you were starting your business?
ANSWER: “There are lot to mentioned, but the most hard part starting up the business is having someone that can help you during the event/shoot. especially your not that known yet the Fee is very minimal, but still we end up having quality pictures. As my motto Quality over Price.”
5. Do you wish anything that you had done differently?
ANSWER: No, I’m currently satisfied to the path that I chose this time, the only regret that I have is why I just started now and not Before.
6. What gears are you using? Do you have a favorite lens?
ANSWER: “My favorite is my first Camera and Lens, FujiFilm X-A3 and my Kitlens. Since Im very Familiar on the settings and mode of the camera.”
7. What is your photography style?
ANSWER: “For me my photography style is the clients Lifestyle and Story. Why do I say so? Because you don’t need to modify or create another story to capture. Less work and also less stress to clients. They will be comfortable enough to do their own things And I will just capture it. The more candid the better. It showcase a persons personality.”
8. How do you motivate yourself and stay being creative?
ANSWER: “Like my answer on question number 7. I’m always motivated and creative because of the clients stories to tell. It’s on how will I be able to showcase their personality and stories in to great moments. It’s like me dreaming their dream and making it into reality”
9. What would you like to learn next?
ANSWER: “There’s a lot to learn. The only lesson I keep on my mind right now is to keep learning and accepting. Photography business/passion is an endless knowledge from time to time basis there will be new things like presets and styles to learn, but right now keep everything to normal time will come and everything will be better, I cannot say perfect but next to perfection.”
10. What advise would you give to anyone who is having a hard time in learning photography?
ANSWER: The only advice that I can share to aspiring photographer is to be creative but keep it normal, don’t exaggerate things. Keep the stories of your subject. Let them do their moments your just their to capture it and not to arrange it. And lastly always remember to be yourself. Don’t copy others preset, create your own signature that people will acknowledge right away that its you and not the others.
