1: How long have you been involved in photography?
Since the age of 10...!ü(almost 40 years but seriously in the last 28 years...ü!)

2: Equipment you use?
Nikon D200 + Nikkor 17.0-55.0 mm f/2.8...and some more other lens.
I will soon buy a Nikon D700 . I am using small cameras as well... (Canon ixus..Nikon Coolpix... ).
I work with Photoshop CS5.

3: Mac or PC?
Mac

4: What inspires you?
Life, emotions, cities and landscapes. As well I do admire and I am inspired by other photographers and arts (cinema, music, poetry).
Lets say: Alvarez Bravo, Henry Cartier Bresson (the decisive moment), the poetry of Adget, the urban vitality of Brassay, the unconventional photography of Robert Frank, The landscapes of Anselm Adams, and the films of Orson Wells (Touch of Evil)...

5: Preferred subject matter?
Cities and Landscapes have the same importance for me..
I have shot many portraits ..Not always digital...ü!

6: Name one thing you haven't caught with the camera that you REALLY want to capture.
The Himalaya mountains and the life in the indian cities.

7: When in doubt about your art, who do you confide in?
Flickr's comments help me to recognize good images...
My close family and clients I take pictures of also express their opinion.
But most of the time it is myself...

8: Qualifications/training in anything? ie: Photoshop
Scholl of photography + 4 years in Academy of Arts...

9: Plans for the future?
To take pictures for a book on Zermatt and the Alps.

10: In one word, describe your photography.
I can use words from others..I think that most of the photographs speak better with ther images..
So I love to say that I am "denying time" , and I am "following the light".
Light is the big seducer..Light is life..life is light..
I follow light with my own means as photographer.

    "Take a stroll through Izakigur's photostream. You will be treated to a very aesthetic and eclectic view of life via the talented eyes of one of Flickr's finest! Izakigur's use of color, composition and light is very evident in a very wide range of subjects from views of Switzerland, nature photography, parades, night life of Zurich and so much more. I feel honored to call Izakigur a friends and a colleague behind the lens."

    Bravo, Maestro...!!!"

    "Writing about Zak on Flickr, one finds oneself using all superlatives.

    In the first place he is a photographer of the highest order, both technically and artistically. Every photograph of his that I look at, makes me wish I was there, or at least plan to go there. (Being beautiful Switzerland may help, but I feel it would be so wherever he was plying his art.)

    His pictures vibrate with colour, and embrace with harmonious composition. Just look at those recent snow scapes, and any of those cloud capped mountains. Or look at any of his photos and appreciate the quality.

    He is also so kind and encouraging in his comments -- I look forward to his visits, especially if I'm feeling down about my photography.

    You are the tops, Zak."

    ""Professional Photograph..." si di elevatissimo talento e squisito livello
    ma ancora di più mi sorpende la sua ecletticità la capacità di passare e " dipingere" temi diversi anche se con la medesima poetica.
    Lo speciale gusto per dettagli e la peculiarità di non "disturbare" i soggetti che rimangono nella loro essenzialità, nel loro ambiente con la loro luce e profumi.
    Bravo, le mie congratulazione per l'abilità
    anche nell'amministare i gruppi tutti ricchi di bellissime opere d'arte animate e dinamiche.
    Ancora una volta bravo e grazie per condividere le tue opere e la tua amicizia

    "Izakigur ( BUSY ) es FOTÓGRAFO de mucha calidad: paisajes, montaña, color, personas...

    Me gusta en su faceta de fotógrafo de paisajes increíblemente bellos. Es una gozada contemplar esos hermoso lugares que nos enseña: altas montañas nevadas, otoños llenos de color, pantanos de aguas cristalinas, paisajes nevados...

    Todo un LUJO tenerte de contacto. Sigue así, enseñándonos esos paisajes fuera de toda contaminación con una técnica muy depurada de fotógrafo profesional.

    Un saludo.

    Jabi"

    "I find Izakigur to be an amazing photographer with the ability
    to take incredible vivid and fascinating photographs.
    Simple everyday subjects are turned into fine works of art.
    I love Izakigur's creative photography and his use of light.
    His warm personality and wonderful vision shines through in
    every photo he takes. Izakigur always has a kind word to say
    about my shots and for that I am grateful .I am lucky to have
    Izakigur for a "friend". Izakigur is not only a very talented
    photographer and loyal friend , but has to be one of the
    most supportive contacts on flickr anyone can ask for.
