What did you want to become in the childhood?
A stuntman. To me, that was the most badass job you can have.
Your personal story with photography. My old man was a photographer and later on in his career started directing commercials. He had his own production company and in that company he had two photographers, René Kramers and Oof Verschuren, working for him. Whenever I had a day off from...

Personal intro. I am an Ohio native currently living in Tokyo Japan. I remember growing up we always had some form of camera in the house from 110, to polaroid instant, and eventually my mom bought a Pentax K1000 to further her hobby, which is the film camera I shoot with now. For the past 15+ years I have been shooting both film and digital photography. My passion is nature and street...

What did you want to become in the childhood? I wanted to play drums in a rock band.
Your story. I started my interest in photography shooting bands and live concerts. I fell into wedding photography when asked to second shoot a wedding with a friend and was hooked and basically that is all I have been photographing for the last 4 years.
What do you carry around in your camera bag? How it...

What did you want to become in the childhood? Growing up, I was interested in taking photographs, but not necessarily wanting to become a photographer. I was actually a music performance student. After a car accident made that impossible for me, I started looking for another creative outlet, and photography took hold. I’ve been shooting since.
The greatest power of photography? I love being able...

Pier to eternity on Flickr.
Its probably a pun I’ve made before so I apologise for that. I make no apologies, in fact I’m very pleased, about posting my first 5x4 pinhole shot.
Made with a Reality So Subtle 5x4 pinhole camera on Kodak Tri-X 320. Developed by Ilford Lab in whatever they usually use.
This was metered with a Lumu meter, which I am now very comfortable with and can happily recommend.
James makes amazing cameras, you can find more details here.

Personal intro. I always think myself as an artist wannabe… because I always enjoy art or making “art”, but never good in doing it. I’m doing 9-5 office works, but luckily, it’s still a family business, so I can take my spare time to do what I like as a side job.
What’s been your greatest accomplishment as a photographer so far? Greatest accomplishment….. it’s the moment I fall in love with...

"Making it simply work, the LUMU"
Thorsten von Overgaard, a Danish writer and photographer in his blogpost Using an external light meter for accurate, failproof metering:
“Despite the fact that light metering is not exactly space technology, lightmeters tend to be too bulky and too complicated. The LUMU lightmeter changes this into a simple to use, accurate and compact - perhaps even trendy - opackage that works with your iPhone....
"The smartphone accessory that makes you a better film photographer."
From The Verge Lumu review:
“I took the Lumu and my camera outside this past weekend to take pictures of my family at the park. The lighting conditions were fairly difficult: the sun kept ducking behind the clouds and then reappearing, requiring me to adjust exposure settings on my camera for nearly every shot. The Lumu’s instant readings gave me accurate recommendations, whether my daughter...

Tell us something about yourself. I was born in Versailles, near Paris, but spent most of childhood in Slovenia, and travelling with my dad’s work. Worked for Leica Camera in Paris, now travelling in Japan.
I started taking photos thanks to my dad. He gave me his old Fujica ST 801 Camera from the 70’s. I started to learn from there, aperture, shutter speed, how it worked. I was around 14-16 years...
