I
grew up on a farm surrounded by animals
and nature. I was a curious child who loved
everything about the natural world. I irst picked
up a camera when I was fourteen, in my high
school art class. It was just an exercise to decide
what media we would like to use in our works, but
from that moment, I’d found a way to capture the
world as I see it, in pictures. I started with simple
point and shot digital cameras, and it wasn’t until I
was nineteen that I bought my irst DSLR camera,
which I still use today.
My art teacher really encouraged me to keep up
with my photography in those early days. He saw
something in my work that he liked, and always
helped me to strive to take better photos, including
those that were a bit unusual.PROFILE
