“After practicing ceramics and photographing them for the past 3 years, I have honed my craft with product photography and ceramic making. I learned that making the best of the equipment you have is the best way of finding smart ways to cut corners and save money in the lighting world. From taping napkins over strobes to having my friends become a walking C-stand, even though I don’t have the best equipment, I know there are still many possibilities of achieving similar outcomes. Special thanks to my friends Juan Perez and Jose Hernandez for helping me throughout this journey so far.”
