Looking through the lens of adventure with Gazzy

‘Music has had a significant influence on my work, partially more than movies. It often sets my mood and inspires me to create visuals that reflect the emotions and energy of the music.‘

-What motivated you to pick up a camera for the first time?
The excitement and creative nature of photography and cinematography drew me in. As someone who loves adventures, I saw it as a gateway to explore the adventurous and creative world. With a camera and a creative mind, you can offer people a new perspective and make them see the world in a way of your choosing.

-Would you say there is a recurring theme in your work?
Yes, there is a recurring theme, particularly in the way I approach colour grading in some of my projects.

-How has your love for music influenced your work as a photographer?
Music has had a significant influence on my work, partially more than movies. It often sets my mood and inspires me to create visuals that reflect the emotions and energy of the music.

-When you take pictures, do you have an end product in mind or does that depend on the overall vibe of the event/subject that you are shooting?
I usually have a clear end product in mind, but sometimes, unexpected circumstances during a shoot can lead to a different final result.

-What is the craziest length you have gone to get the perfect shot?
Once, I took a picture in heavy rain, completely ignoring the possibility of catching a cold. Thankfully, the rain stopped midway, and I got the shot I wanted.

– Could you describe your ideal shot? The subject, the background, what would it look like?
My ideal shot would be a crisp image or video taken from a cinematic angle, with minimal distractions, making the subject stand out. It should create a connection between the viewer and the subject.

-When did you know for certain that photography was something you wanted to stick with?
I recognized the potential in this field of work early on. Photography allows me to express my thoughts and creativity through my work, and that solidified my decision.

-How do you feel your skill has evolved overtime?
My skills have improved significantly. As I mentioned earlier, the opportunities in this field allow me to connect with and learn from other creatives. Some of my work is inspired by these interactions, and I’m proud of how I adapt ideas to fit my vision.

– Do you have a specific theme that you would like to explore that you haven’t in the past?
Absolutely! I’m just getting started and have many ambitious ideas to bring to life next year. With the support of those who love my work, including fellow creatives, friends, family, and by God’s grace, I’m confident I’ll make it happen

-Last but not least, if you happen to go to space and you witness our planet get hit by an asteroid, what would you do?
Honestly, my first reaction would be, “What in the actual [fvck]?!” I’d probably wish I could consult Doctor Strange to reverse time and get my loved ones onto a spaceship. Earth is already pretty chaotic, so I’d wish everyone good luck and hope for the best.
