I was enraptured by the colors of the trees and the reflections in the canals of this beautiful city. I love to travel because it takes me out of my comfort zone. There is always a little bit of fear in travel, especially to another country because I am in an unfamiliar place and I have to figure out how to get around. However, there's enchantment on the other side, and even though I have had obstacles while traveling I have always learned something new.

My style is to capture the natural beauty of the place I am in. I think that nature already provides more than Photoshop or any editing software could ever compare to. Not to speak bad about photo editing software-I certainly use it myself. But I use it for simple edits rather than manipulating the entire image. Others are highly gifted with Photoshop, and more power to them. My style is more subtle and I try to capture as much as possible with my camera and the lighting provided.

The advise I would give to other artists is to keep traveling, even if you don't necessarily do travel photography. I believe that travel gives so much more perspective and helps to appreciate the little things we have in our daily lives. Even if you cannot take a plane to the other side of the world, travel in your neighborhood, your county, your state-there are so many surprises that await us. Travel is the ultimate inspiration.

The camera I use is a Canon 70D with a Tamron 17-50mm as well as my iPhone 6S. My camera of choice is my Polaroid 600, although I didn't have that camera with me during this trip :)
