www.MOSTmag.com || FITNESS MAG A ZINE || 85MFM: How long did it take you to develop your skills?HG: I don%u2019t know how much money I spent on film as I learned to change settings from auto to manual on my first Canon! It took years to learn how to manipulate the camera to get the effect I wanted, and I was never really proficient in Photoshop, so I figured I better learn my camera! It%u2019s been over 15 years, and I am still learning, and still developing new skills and new techniques! MFM: Favorite lens/camera combination and why?HG: So far my favorite combination is the Canon 1Dx with the Canon 70-200EF 2.8L Type II series lens. The flexibility and depth of field has proven effective in both capturing creative portraits and events, but I can%u2019t exclude my love of the Canon 85mm 1.8L series which unfortunately I only got to play with for less than a year before it was relieved from my kit without my knowledge, haha. The way I could use depth of field for creative effects with that lens, and it was a lot of fun to play with!MFM: Are you primarily a still photographer or do you also do cinematography? Any interest in expanding into other areas?HG: I am primarily a still photographer and play with video only a little. LHGFX Photography currently has three photographers, and my brother Allen has dabbled in cinematography a little more than I have. But I do enjoy the challenge of capturing moving images and making them look better than just the clips I captured! As far as expanding, first I would like to expand my craft and spread out beyond being just a fitness photographer but become known as a fashion and artistic photographer as well!Michelle Lewin
