Photography started when I was five years old, when my parents, after a bit of persuading bought me a basic 35mm compact camera. I do remember it well, it was called Fat Boy and was this chunky compact camera that we had found in a shop in Singapore. Somewhere I still have the album containing the prints from the first roll of film that I had loaded.
Since then photography has been an on and off affair. Life has this habit of taking you in different directions and sometimes away from old passions. But photography has always been there, I was in my teens when I started playing with a “proper” camera, a DSLR with interchangeable lenses that my father had picked up second hand. It was a Canon AE-1 with a couple of lenses. Heavy and chunky, it was my first foray into DSLR photography.
My current photography career if you can call it that started with Iceland in 2016. A few friends and I had gone for a road trip to Iceland to explore it’s amazing history and scenery. One of my friends had a DSLR Canon camera which very much inspired me to look into photography again, especially after I was struggling to get creative with my iPhone camera. It was from their that I bought a Canon 760D, followed quickly by a Canon 5D Mark IV and the rest as they say was history…
