About - Zara -

I've been dabbling with photography since I was 14, but it wasn't until 2006 when I bought my first DSLR that I started getting serious.

I don't have a set genre, rather I enjoy shooting many different subject matters - from landscapes to urban to wildlife to abstract. If hard pressed though, I'd have to say I really enjoy doing portraits and candids. Being a freshly minted dad, you can guess my favorite subject :-)

I currently use a Canon 40D with a selection of Canon, Leica, Nikon and Zeiss lenses for most of my work. I've recently acquired a Canon G9 for business trips, which I have a love/hate relationship with. Both are complemented by Nikon SB-24 strobes and wireless triggers.

My intermittent urge to use film gets satisfied with a Mamiya C33, Nikon F301 and a Canon EOS 3.

I'm Male and Taken.
