Started taking pictures at a young age with my fathers Practika SLR camera. Its is still on the loft but no longer in use. I bought my first camera at the age of 16. It was a sony digital with 1,2MP witch i wore out within two years. My brother was so kind to give me his camera witch i used for a few years. At the age of 25 i bought my first digital SLR, a EOS 500D with a Sigma 24-135mm lens. A whole new world opened in front of me and the big jump to becoming a photographer followed only a year later when my first payed shoot came along. About 5 years later i bought the EOS 1ds MKII and have been using it ever since. I bought a 50mm Sigma portrait lens that came in handy when doing modeling shoots, but I still love my 24-135 lens.
