What cameras do you enjoy shooting with and what do you like most about them?
I use Canon T5i with a 50mm, I love shooting with it when it is paired with the 50mm because it is great with details and portraits cause of the clarity. I use my iPhone SE too especially when I am trying to go incognito plus helps shooting candid moments.
Where do you shoot most of your photos and what sort of photos do you like to take best?
I shoot when I am traveling or when I am on the move so basically anywhere. I love portraiture and travel photography.
