What inspired you to become a photographer?

Since I was a child I have been interested in photography. Later on I lost the interest and didn't take many pictures but a couple of years ago I found it again. I posted a picture on Instagram most for fun and to my surprise I got a positive response, that started a big interest for me, not only in taking pictures but also in editing my pictures.

As I said it was when I posted on Instagram for the first time and people really like my picture and also that they took the time and write positive comments about it. It was a great feeling I remember.

What do you enjoy photographing the most?

It´s the nature, mostly in my neighborhood and I really love if it´s some mist out there
