INTERVIEW WITH MARK AQUINO 36

What does photography mean to you?

To me, photography means a lot. It helps me to see the beauty of the world. It shows interest of mine to show ideas and inspire me to do something to put out my creativity and talent to share to others.

Photography helps me to express myself and meet new amazing people on my journey in life!

As a photographer is challenging and most commonly problem and usually I faced is when everytime I won’t get the shot I want or the way I want to be I always deal with it to take another and another and another shot to get the best shot I want for the photo! And always look at every angle to see what’s the best side to capture the subject(model) and focus then take the best shot to get a good result.

to consider while shooting portrait pictures? Can you walk us through the actual process that you use to set up a portrait? Which editing software do you usually use?

In my opinion, the most important part while shooting a portrait picture is to focus on the subject so that people when they look on your photo they will see and attract on your shot. They will think what the portrait shot make a great photo from How did you develop an interest in phothe composition. Setting up an outdoor tography? portrait is also challenging from time to How important is it for a photographer to It started when I was senior year in high time because shooting outside is you “connect” with his subjects to bring out school when I become a yearbook phohave to find the good lightning and starttheir true self? tographer.As a yearbook photographer is ing from getting the right position of the It’s very important to photographer to challenging and so much work to do besubject facing from light or the back of connect with the subject so that the percause you have to take a shot from any it.
