I must be so lucky to be able to do what I love doing.

When I got my new camera I didn’t have any intention to become a photographer. I just bough a digital camera to take better snap shots.

My first ever attempt to photograph event was at a personal training studio opening-Extreme Body gym, http://www.extremebodygym.com/.

I was amazed how different was to be behind the camera and I loved every moment of it.

On that day in March 2009 I decided that photography will be my new hobby.

Later when I got more into it I changed my mind. Photography was not only my hobby, it was something coming from my soul and I wanted to become at it better and to pursue it as a profession.

I was fortunate to be in an industry surrounded with so many great looking and fit people. I knew immediately what I want to specialize in and it was something very familiar, something I have done it for years but in front of the camera-fitness and glamour photography.

Week after week I started practising and photographing my colleagues, competitors and champions.

One can not express the excitement to be able to create a picture in a way they feel is the best and express their ideas and views via the photo work.

And this is just the beginning
