How did I get into photography?
How did it all start? Quite simply: a friend of mine had the tradition of hosting a concert to celebrate it. in 2023 he needed photos for his event and asked me. I told him I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but he had complete confidence in me.
That evening sparked my interest in photography.
I very quickly bought my own camera -my canon eos 60d- and started getting a feel for it. My subject? My cats, occasionally friends, horses, plants -anything that crossed my path. I just wanted to get to know my camera. (once I even sketched it down and noted every single button with every use it had)
Then came the concerts. Through the friend whose birthday it was, I got in touch with local bands that gave me positive feedback, and I gradually became part of those circles.
As I made more friends and acquaintances, more and more opportunities came my way. One of the first major bands I worked with was Being as an Ocean. I was so excited and nervous, terrified of messing something up, but that evening remains etched in my memory to this day.
I gradually found my niche and developed my style, eventually making a name for myself through my photography.
But concerts and weddings are quite different?
yeah, that's very true. how did I end up shooting weddings?
That, too, was something of an accident.
The drummer of a band I was friends with was marrying his longtime girlfriend. for them, it was a case of "her or no one." Even though I insisted I had absolutely no experience with weddings, that wasn't an issue for them at all. They trusted me.
People started talking about my wedding-game and more people texted me with a "Hey, you still into weddings?"
That's how I got there.
Sooo, concerts and weddings are my game now and honestly? I love every second of it. It is precisely the differences between these two worlds that fascinate me. You'll get the best of both worlds, like Hannah Montana once sang in her song.
