Please
introduce yourself? What is your background? How did you get started into
photography?
Nathan GH
My name
is Nathan Hayag. Known in the online photography world as digitalpimp. Living
in Singapore and working in the healthcare industry. I'm also a
photographer/contributor for Getty Images USA.
The best
answer I can come up with on how I got started in photography is... PEER
PRESSURE. A very good friend of mine literally forced me to get a camera and shoot
with him. But I can't say I didn't put up a good fight. It took 6 months before
I caved in and bought a Nikon D70s. He was also using a Nikon back then. In my
head I thought it was absurd buying expensive lenses just to take stupid
photos. I was like, "What can't my Sony Ericsson P990 do that these big
expensive clunky cameras can??" We went around taking photos of... stuff.
It was a photographic nightmare!
