Photography is appealing because I can do it with ease. It comes from my utter desire to be a great artist. I wasn’t gifted with great talent as a painter or drawer, but my creative energy was still there. I really wanted to do something creative.
I love buying magazines, partly because of the content, but the other half of me loved flipping through photos of models. I buy magazines for fashion photography because that kind of photography was the most readily available example of the type of photographs I wanted to take, and the kind of eye I wanted. There’s great magic to it.
The clothes were way too expensive and out there for it to be appealing, but the way in which the women and clothing would interact in the photo was what interested me.
I thought that was the best part of magazines. The content just acted as fillers.
It's easy to take a picture. I’ve done it a thousand times before. It's natural. I still have to learn technique. I have tons of technique and composition to learn, but it's something to look forward to.
It's satisfying, especially with digital cameras where the results are immediate.
Most photos I've taken are trial and error attempts. I think I remember only one photography rule: put subjects off center for more interesting, appealing effect, and that was partly due to what I learnt in art.
I’m enjoying the rewards so far. It's been great.
