Q7.Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
I’m both. I still love just going out and shooting random things when I'm not working on my
client’s project.

I’d have to say the first session when I actually understand studio lighting. Making that light do
exactly what I wanted was amazing.

Started out using Canon but now I use Sony.
