Nif is a Creative Technologist and UX Engineer in the advertising field but, most importantly, he describes himself as a dream-chaser by night. He first dabbled into travel photography in college, he explained, but it wasn’t until 2017 that he fully dove in when he was traveling to Japan for his first solo trip. “It was the perfect opportunity to get back into being a shutterbug so I impulsively bought a camera a week before my trip,” Nif shared. “From then on, my camera became my travel companion.”

Talking about what captivated him in travel photography, he says, “There is something about capturing scenic places and documenting people’s lives. […] Sometimes, even though you have already been in that place before, there is a new story that you can capture with a click of the shutter button.”

His tip for learning photographers: “Experiment until you figure out your own personal style. I curate mine into four themes I personally derived over the course of doing photography: colors, form, motion, and emotion. Curating your own “genre” can guide you to what or when to press that shutter button. Social media, especially Instagram, is your friend for inspiration. Above all else, just have fun learning the craft.”
