Sean Simpson

My photography journey began when I found a passion for taking photos in the early 1990s. Back then, I learned film photography, and as the methods changed to digital, I adapted and embraced my first digital camera in the early 2000s. Since then, I've grown from a beginner to an enthusiast to an expert photographer who enjoys all types of photographic pursuits, from landscapes to portraits to cityscapes. My passion for imaging brought me to PhotographyTalk, where I've served as an editor since 2015.
