My Interest in photography has somehow come a bit late than never. I do consider myself a late bloomer in this field. I have been into several hobbies for as long as I can remember, but photography has got me all hooked up in no time at all, thank God. My initial introduction to this hobby was just a plain documentation of my rides and other activities, but my desire to learn more about it came when I met some wonderful people from GPN. I am also fortunate to be mentored by a very good phographer named Beboy Roa. Learning about photography is not as easy as ABC, so I realized. There are technical sides to master, but the best part of it is when the pictures you take finally come to life. When I felt like my pictures started forming some characters and personalities of some sort, I became more driven to take more and more pictures, breathing in more life into them. My inspiration? It is when people finally take time to appreciate the beauty behind every snap, or when they validate the artist that I could be. Yes, I feel like an artist and I don’t feel like stopping because every picture that I take allows my soul to be seen. Yes, I am a photographer, and I love what I do.
