How did you first become interested in photography?
It all started with a hiking trip to Hawaii in my early twenties, and the hundreds of videos and photos I took during the trip. The sheer quantity made me think I’m never going to look at the footage again. But having some great memories of the trip, I made an effort and went through it all, picked images and scenes I most liked, and decided to put a nice little video together.
From there, I was more and more interested in video editing and I had a lot of fun over the years. Many friends enjoyed them a lot and said that this is what I should do as a job.
Then a few years back I scored an awesome job in tourism marketing. This exposed me to plenty of amazing and professional content. I always tried to shoot my videos with 60 frames per second, but it was then when I realised how powerful one single frame can be. A single frame that inspires you and opens up your imagination. I found it fascinating what you can do when you have the ability to capture the right moment.
