Edit 2: Congratulations to the winners!

Edit: Entry into the contest has ended. Keep tuned for the announcement for the winner soon!

So the good people over at Sony and here in DeviantART are making a challenge.

Remember that #CapturingChange project I posted about a few months ago? Well, now you got a chance to edit a photo each of us photographers selected from the project and win a Sony Alpha camera.

You can get one of the best cameras in the world from this, so what are you waiting for? Go participate!

I have some really great news!

About a month ago, in mid-October, I was contacted by DeviantART for participating in a project. They had read my journal of how I was raising funds for a new camera, since my old 1000D had run out of shutter’s life, and decided I would be perfect for the new project by Sony.

4 photographer, me included, all received Sony mirroless cameras and were set out for a week-long shoot capturing change in each of our countries. I got myself a Sony a7R with E 55-210mm telephoto lens. I also thought a wider-angle lens would be really suited for the project, so using the fundraiser money, I got myself the Sony E 16mm F2.8 Pancake lens.

It really is the biggest project I’ve ever done in my life, and the very first professional job I’ve got as a photographer. Really, it’s the biggest event in my 25 years of life, and I’m proud of my finished work. Really am. It was tons of fun and a big learning experience working with dA and with the other 3 photographers as well. They did a superb job too and for me it was very interesting to compare how similar and at the same time differently we went on our approach on the concept. They're really some great photographers.

I urge you to check out the whole project as it’s really important to me and thank you everyone for supporting me. Without you guys, deviantART wouldn’t have seen me and I wouldn’t have been part of this project.

Thank you.

Greetings all you lovely people! I have some news!

I finally opened my Society6 page! So far I have 6 works included there that I think looks great, but I'll be adding more in the future! If you'd like to see a specific photo of mine as an item there, please do put it in comments !

I have never sold anything else besides art prints, so I really hope this will be a success, because I think a lot of these would look good in your house or on your stuff (OR EVEN ON YOU!!!).

Here's a preview on some of the items available (with working links):

While my life is in stalemate and my official status in-between 2 countries, neither here, neither there, I'm using some of the time I have to try to make some more art. Of course I wish art is something I could do for a living, because I love art, I love photography, even if I hadn't had a single chance to take a single new photo in 2015 yet. Without any funds, it's just not possible to go out and take any pictures.

So, while I haven't been able to do that for half a year now, I still from time to time sort through my last years photos and try to make something out of it. Of course none of this is good enough for my dA portfolio, but you can check it out on my Tumblr blog.

In the meantime, I'm always open for donations. Maybe luck might shine my way....maybe....
