David Petranker
Sydney, Australia
2 November 1973
I have been taking photos from the age of 16 when I was using a Asahi Pentax ME taking photos for the school paper.
I am now using a Canon 450d, main two lens are 70 – 200mm and 16 – 35mm both L series.
I love catching moments in peoples life, you will never know what that moment was you will only have an insight.
95% of my shots are edited in lightroom 2.0 using contrast and tone techniques basically straight from the camera, the other 5% I use CS3, you will know the shots that I modify.
Favourite camera sayings
- A great photo will speak through silence
- Camera a mirror with memory
