I “knew” EHD for sometimes now discovering his photography on Instagram.

When I saw his photos, I was inspired not by the way he takes photographs but how he takes them.

EHD would spend hours to get to a specific location, take I don;t know how many photos and just focus on the best one to edit and post it on his Instagram feed. It’s just awesome.

Since I follow EHD on Instagram, I wanted to get to know the guy behind the photos a bit more but our schedules have not yet allowed us to have a coffee together. However, EHD is kind enough to answer to our regular questions and also sent through some of his amazing photos.

Make sure you check out the photo after the jump and follow him on Instagram (link at the end).

 

  1. Who are you? 

I’m Edwin, my friend calls me ‘EHD’. Born and raised from Philippines. Lived here in Australia since 2006. I’m working at the Canberra Hospital as Registered Nurse, married with 3 children.

  1. How did you become a photographer?

I started photographing since I was a kid, when my dad thought me how to use his camera. I bought my first DSLR last 2006, then bought my 2nd one on 2013. I loved photographing nature and landscape and making some videophotography. One time I was asked to photograph a couple for their pre-wedding, though it was my first ever – turns out good with a happy couple.

  1. What inspires you?

In regards to photography, one time I was reading some article and mention that now a days, “photography has become an ART”, one article also mention that “it’s not how good, clear is your photo, it’s how you interpret it”.

  1. What’s the most valuable lessons you’ve learnt either from a teacher/mentor or by the hard way?

Someone says “practice makes perfect”, which is true (I guess) so I always do lots and lots of practice, trial & error (aka experiment) until I got what I’m looking for.

  1. Who would be the photographer you’d like to shoot/work with for your next assignment?

  1. What’s in your bag?

Camera: Sony A100, Nikon d5200, GoPro Hero 4 black, iPhone5, iPhone6.

Computer: Mac Book Pro 15”

  1. What’s your favourite piece of gear / tool / props?

I guess, I’ll go with my Nikon d5200 & iPhone 6, but I would like to have another upgrade of new DSLR (professional).

  1. What would be your workflow, favourite piece of software / step by step to create a look ? 

I think I’ll just go with the iPhone apps, most of the time I used ‘Snapseed’ for my photo editing, I’m still learning using the ‘lightroom’.

  1. Do you have any suggestions for aspiring photographers ?

Continue inspire others.
