What are your favorite tools to take pictures?

I always shoot with my canon 5D Mark2 because the quality is great. Sometimes if I don’t have the canon with me I’ll use my iPhone 6. It’s has great features and quality is good too.

What are your favorite photo apps and how do you work on your pics?

My favorite app is Instagram because it’s the best platform to share my images and make new friends. Another app that I like is Snapseed because I can edit my photos very easily.

Who are the artists that inspire you?

@mattscutt because his unique point of view and angles.
@starvingohotographer because his nature pics are out of this world and because he is an excellent teacher
@nois7 because his images take me to another new planet
@mr007 just the best black and white instagrammer I know

What are your favorite tools to take pictures?

That totally depends on the situation. I often carry everything with me. That means my professional gear, my iphone and Zenfone 2. Nowadays the picture quality of smartphones is really impressive and with the right apps a lot of things are possible on a mobile device. What I most like about smartphones is the flexibility and mobility. You always got it in your pocket and it’s always ready to shoot. The direct connection to social media is handy as well. What I like about my professional gear is the picture quality and I know what I got for the money. The picture quality is still much better than from a smartphone.

What are your favorite photo apps and how do you work on your pics?

My favorite apps for photography or editing are the following:
Photography: Camera+, ProCamera, Cortex Cam, Average Cam
Editing: ArtStudio, VSCOcam, filterstorm, snapseed

If you got an idea for a photo, whatever how crazy it may sound like, try to achieve exactly that image. Experiment around with apps as much as possible and never give up.

Who are the artists that inspire you?

Some artists/people are good at social media, some at photography or editing. There is no artist who makes me create what I create. I like the social aspect of @JR, the photography of @RaviVora and @Wrongrob and the presentations of @chrisburkard. If you wanna get motivated to “Do more” you should check out the youtube channel of Casey Neistat. That guy is brilliant in many ways and he actually inspired me to start filming vlogs and videos. It would mean a lot if you would check out my youtube channel Lifeofnois7.

What are your favorite tools to take pictures?

I have a Canon 5D Mark III, a SONY A7II and an iPhone 5s…

Since summer 2013 I use the 5D for professional usage and missions. I trust the quality, and love its ergonomics and grip. Combined with a 35mm F1.4 lens, it is perfect for what I want: street photography, architecture and portraits.

The Sony A7II is a camera I own for 6 months. I wanted a small compact camera but with the characteristics of large-format SLR cameras and wifi-connected. It is perfect for everyday use, but also professional. It is complementary with my 5D when I go on a mission.

And finally the iPhone 5s, this is my third iPhone. The fact of not having a zoom, iso and all technical aspects of a classic camera, makes me focus only on the appearance and visual composition of the photo.

What are your favorite photo apps and how do you work on your pics?

I do not really have any advice to give. Everything depends on what you are looking for in photography. At the beginning of the era of mobile photography, I was testing a lot of applications like Snapseed, FX Photo Studio, Afterlight or others. I used to use about 3 applications before publishing my photo. And one day, I gave up all these applications to focus on just one: VSCO Cam. If I had any advice to give: do not abuse of saturated colors, filters and remain as faithful as possible to the picture.

Who are the artists that inspire you?

There are many artists that inspire me like Trent Parke for its light and shadows, Bruce Gilden for its incredible stolen street portraits, Cartier-Bresson for the decisive moment, Elliott Erwitt for his humorous compositions, Steve McCurry for his portraits of the world or Alex Webb for his view of the colors in the streets…
