RE: Interviewing Tom Swinnen: A hobby photographer who achieved more than 100 million views on his images.

in LeoFinance3 years ago

Such an elaborate interview which I enjoyed reading since I'm a hobbyist in the world of photography. In the whole interview, there's a particular answer which I feel really compelled is when he said:

Get yourself a cheap camera that has a good quality built-in lens and a manual mode. And learn the ropes using that. Go through the settings. Challenge yourself to squeeze every last drop out of that cheap camera. Don't go out spending hundreds of euros on dSLRs and lenses thinking this will make you a photographer. It won't. I've seen gorgeous photos made with point-and-click cameras or smartphones.

I totally agree with what he said here because the camera doesn't guarantee an incredible result for anyone's photography.

Anyway, thanks for sharing this interview.

Thank you. I, too enjoyed reading it and making a blog post out of it (a looot).
I believe that we always have something new to learn, I am happy to know that there are 'take aways' from this interview. I bet Tom will be happy to know too!
