Is there anything in particular you enjoy photographing most, and why?
My favourite type of photos are either food, as love it, and travel.
Favourite photo of my wife and I on a private island in the Indian Ocean, Maldives
Favourite photo?
My favourite photo I’ve ever taken is the photo of my wife and I on a private island in the Indian Ocean Maldives, maybe because it was just perfect swimming with sharks and manta rays.
