What Kind Of Photographer Are You?

1. When did you start taking photos regularly?

I started learning how to take pictures a long time ago, and now I use every opportunity to learn even more.

When I found my dad's old camera in our garage.

Well... when the technologies became so advanced that I could make snaps even on a phone.

When I got a camera to shoot the best days of my family's and friends' life.

2. What does inspire you to take photos?

All the great things that happen to me: breath-taking weekends, my children growing up, friends' birthdays, family meetings.

The possibility to snap the world the way I see it and share my vision with other people.

Everything around me, I'm afraid to miss a good shot.

Beautiful people, nature, architecture, eye-catching exterior and interior, unusual situations.

3. How do others treat your photography obsession?

They are as obsessed as I am! We always like to talk about the way we edit our photos.

They respect me and enjoy my photos, though sometimes they may be a bit annoying about me taking pictures of them.

Sometimes they ask me weird questions about what I do, but some of my friends really like what I shoot, that's awesome.

Obsession? What obsession? I'm not that obsessed, I just want to remember things in the future.

4. Do you consider photography to be the kind of art?

Well, maybe one day I'll start making pics that would feel like art.

I put a lot of efforts into my photos being perfect, and qualitative photography is definitely art.

The way I shoot is more like a ultra-modern kind of art, though not all pics are quite artistic enough.

In past photography was more artistic than it is nowadays, sometimes new is not better than old.

5. Do you follow some photography news or blogs?

I always know what new photo cameras are released and find inspiration watching professionals' works. I also read a lot of tutorials and sometimes write them myself.

I communicate online and offline with photographers who share my obsession. Sometimes we go on photo-walks.

I follow all the news about smartphones and applications, and I can't imagine a day when I do not check out Instagram feed for new pics from my friends.

Actually, no. But I sometimes read related stuff in media or see it on TV.
