1.  What is your Instragram account for your photography?  Do you have any
other social media accounts for your photography?

Only my Instagram account.

2.  When did you become interested in photography ? Who or what influenced you?

When my youngest daughter was born in 2016.

3.  When did you start taking your photography more seriously and why?

I enjoy doing photography and improving my skills.

I started to study photography and how to retouch images almost as soon as I bought my first Reflex in 2016.

4. Did anyone teach you? Or are you self taught? Or both?

Both.

I had a teacher in Landscape Photography.

For portraits and retouching tools, I used a lot of YouTube videos.

I started by doing only landscape photography. After that, I started to do portrait photography and cosplay photography.

My style is changing every day. I hope it continues because it helps me evolve as a photographer for the future.

It is very difficult to say.

Every photo shoot and every shot gives me different positive vibes.

I love to catch the character of my subjects. Every unique detail in the image is what I was aiming for.

I don’t know.

I only post 1% of my pictures. I should post more!
