When I walk around, there are always things that catch my eye. It’s usually colours, shapes, shadows, how the light falls in a certain way. That’s how I got into photography. I wanted to learn how to capture those things, moments. Learn how to do it in a visually interesting way. Because taking a photo of an interesting subject is one thing, but taking a captivating photo is something else. So I “borrowed” my dad’s dusty Nikon & started taking classes & workshops. Ten years and 3 cameras later, I’m still in love with the art.
I’m curious. Photographers, what made you start to photograph?

When I was much younger, there was a really silly social media called Piczo, and you could link all your friends on the side.
It would just be a giant photo album, and you’d post all your photos and friends on there.
Some kids linked me on theirs, but I wouldn’t have called myself their friend, and I was quite jealous they had all these photos, and I didn’t really have any.
I took up photography in Uni, and it just kept going.
I have this whole philosophy about how photography is time travel and blah blah blah. Truth is, I just wanted to be like my mom. Now I’ve surpassed her and she comes to me for advice
My parents don’t have many pictures of me growing up. They’re just not photo takers, even to today I don’t think either of them have took a selfie. So for the rest of my life now, I want pictures of anything that is important to me.
