How did I start photography?

My passion for photography started while travelling around the world, especially in those really beautiful places such as Australia or Asia where nature is just incredible.  So I naturally wanted to capture this places to keep memories and print on my walls for ever. Now everytime is see my photographies it reminds me those magical moments. I start mostly with Gopros camera which is extremely convenient and robust. But I quickly wanted more megapixel and definition. So I switched to a proper DSLR then Mirrorless cameras.
After a while I discovered the pleasure  of flying drones. So I got one and... what a fun !  
Then I got myself a special portrait lens... and this change radically my work. I felt so much in love with this lens that I developed a very strong passion for people, portrait and couple photography. Capturing a wedding  or an emotion during an engagement photo session is really much of fun.
