I'm a photographer. When I bought the first DSLR, photography became a very important part of my life. I used to spend my entire spare time traveling. I would like to share what it means to be a photographer in the hope that it will prepare you for this fascinating, honorable, challenging, alluring and not-changing career in the world. To illustrate my issues, I'll share your photos with you. So my advice is this: If you want to succeed, take your work very, very seriously.

I tend to spend a good part of my free time doing urban walks and looking for new views of the city. When you do photograph every day, of course, you’ll repeat yourself, either because of the similarity of the environment or your perspective. But there is nothing bad in it, as long as you realize it and keep going. Do not think too much. Enriching your cultural knowledge and life experience changes your mental models, which eventually be reflected in whatever you do.

Picture the Earth from above. In your mind's eye, what do you see? Today, we have access to air and space technology that lets us see various views of the Earth with ease.
If you decide to venture down this road, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed; aside from the amazing images you can produce, aerial shooting is just tremendous fun. |
WHAT HAS TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY TAUGHT ME?
I believe, photography became the radical part of my Life. To me, it is a kind of meditation. When you’re with the camera, you are always opened, ready to talk to strangers, present in the moment, aware. That’s why I’m chasing the goal to photograph every single day. We run through our lives mostly on autopilot in a superficially polite manner with nothing human required of us

The constant repetition loops of the same obligatory actions and same thoughts make us blind and insensible for the possible alternative paths. “Cash or Card”, “Thank you, Bye”, Work-Eat-Sleep-Repeat.
Wake Up, we will look into each other’s Eyes! |
