I had this 3D visualization company for almost 10 years when I burned out completely. I was dedicating to many time to that business and not getting anywhere. We had just had our first Daughter, Gabi, I became more and more interested in photography and wondering about make it my profession.
Photography was an old passion and I just loved making these photos, writing and studying them. Children's photography seemed natural to me. I was literally taking 1000s of photos of my little daughter every week.
Before diving head first into this new world I decided to start a blog and put the idea out there. I was blogging about my passion, giving tips, tutorials and letting people (and the universe) know about my intentions. This was back in 2006 and the Blog was written in Portuguese (I was still living in Brazil at that time). I remember my first post being about passion passion and following my dreams.
I started documenting my journey, showing my art to the world and things went really well from there.
It is all about passion and love for what you do. Things fall into place once you have this figured out.
This is Part 1/5. I don't want make this too long. So, here are some of my early photos. They show Gabi at different ages on some very intimate moments.
I've used a variety of cameras for these photos. From a Film Pentax to digital Nikon and Pentax DSLRs
I will talk more about equipment later.
Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks.
