BEAUTY IS IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER.D O YOU THINK AI WILL TAKE OVER TRADITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY?AI is a real revolution in many areas, and it obviously has and will have an impact on traditional photography. As I write these lines, AI is a valuable tool for me, and I remain in control of my vision and my artistic sensitivity. It is true that AI is making significant progress every day and your question is not trivial, because we can legitimately ask the question.Only the future will be able to tell us, but I think it is important to actively monitor the subject, and remain very critical of the results that AI gives us.W HAT EDITING SOFTWARE DO YOU LIKE TO USE FOR YOUR FINISHED PHOTOS?I use Adobe Lightroom to enhance my photos and give them a more artistic look and Adobe Photoshop for graphic designs.W HAT TYPE OF LIGHTING DO YOU PREFER TO USE WHEN SHOOTING?The choice of lighting depends on the type of shot and the atmosphere in which I want to realize my creative vision. For portraits, I use natural light whenever possible, for its softness and ability to create a natural look. For landscapes, I love the moments around sunrise and sunset (the golden hour), for their warm, directional light.For photos in studio mode, I use continuous artificial light, as close as possible to natural light (temperature close to 6500K)I never use flash, because in this case it is very difficult to control the result.W HAT IS THE ONE THING YOU WISH YOU KNEW WHEN YOU STARTED TAKING PHOTOS?It%u2019s a good question! In fact, like many things, you gain experience through practice and there is no substitute for that.To tell the truth, I knew nothing about photography when I started, but I had within me a taste for beauty and the desire to strive as much as possible towards perfection.I started with a Canon EOS 200D, the one given as a gift to our daughter for her 20th birthday. I practiced a lot and quickly understood and integrated the main concepts, such as framing, composition, depth of field, and the importance of light.Once you understand all this, you need to know how to play with your camera and find the right triplet of values (aperture - shutter speed - ISO sensitivity) which will allow you to obtain the desired result. But with experience, it almost becomes a reflex.And then came the time when I could no longer progress, and I understood that I was limited by the capabilities of my current equipment. So I invested in some new equipment, but I%u2019ll come back to that when answering the next question. Title: %u201cColors of Brazil%u201dTitle: %u201cWomen Dark Side%u201dMOST MAGAZINE - ISSUE 39 49
