How did you start in photography?
Just taking photos from a random film camera to be honest, i used to play around with angles, composition and basically anything that looked good. Once i got he filme developed i went out and tried new stuff. Then one day i decided i wanted Digital - Boought the Fuji, Then wanted ot go one better and bought the 400d! God it costs so much haha.
What's your photography goals?
Just to make a good name for myself and TopGear Photography, Earn a few Dollars and meet some awesome people along the way. I see it as an oppurtunity to better myself as a person aswell as learning about car shows / events behind the scenes. Hopefully that will give me an insight as to building cars, as i plan to move to QLD and open up my own custom paint shop.
What's your favourite photography style(s)?
Pretty much mainly Cars, Girls and cars to be honest. Im a fan of landscape, Lightning shots, drifting, but mainly car events with static displays, stuff you can work with and have time to get it right. Theres a good photo and a great photo, the difference is in the time it took capturing it.

How did you start in photography?
I've always enjoyed photography, even from a young age, I used to grab a hold of the parent's camera and leave my mark on their role of film. I first took photography as a subject in year 11 (2006), which provoked me to go out and purchase my own camera which was a fuji s5600. It was no digital SLR but it the job and from then on my passion grew.
What's your photography goals?
Well I've been published once but I'd really like to be published at least a few more times. I'm not planning on making a career out of photography but once I'm through Uni, I'd like to travel the world with my camera.
What's your favourite photography style(s)?
Everything, I like it all, if I had to pick one or two though it would be landscape and architecture and people. But the thing I like to photograph most is lightning as its kind of a challenge and it can end up with some awesome results.
