Introduction: I am a microbiologist for 24 years and a photographer / videographer for 15 years because I believe in the power of images and videos carefully made to document and communicate to people that we care about projects and events we believe. I am constantly learning how to improve how to capture the best shot. Always upgrading or creating tools to help me being at the right place and time. I have my trustworthy Canon DSLR 60D and 3 Sony Action Cams (and lots of accessories) that help me to get extra shots and timelapses to achieve the best job possible.
