First steps into photography with a mobile phone in 2004. Got my first digital camera at the end of 2006 as a present but it was quite crappy. So I saved my money and bought a better one some months later (the other one was then broken anyway). I went taking photos in nature with my Ricoh Caplio R4 almost every weekend. I started portrait photography quite late. First, I only took photos of friends because they asked me to. At the end of 2008, I caught fire and tried to do it more often. Fortunately, I could lend my boyfriend's reflex camera back then as my digital camera wouldn't have been the right thing. After some time, I got to the point where a simple digital camera doesn't satisfy you anymore but as a student, I had not enough money to buy a reflex camera. I have to admit, I was jealous of my boyfriend as well because he could afford a lot of equipment In summer 2009, I finally bought my own reflex camera, a Nikon D90. And I had finally a lot more possibilities. The rest was practice.
