Each week, a new photographer will join us on Instagram sharing their ideas, tips, and tricks for getting the best shot. This week we introduce you to  Randy Reyes aka @randyreyes__ on Instagram.
 

How did you start in photography?

I grew up using a lot of disposable cameras and waterproof disposables so the passion for photography started a long time ago! Those were the days when you had to wait 24-48hrs for development from the local drug store. When digital cameras were more affordable, I was able to purchase my very first point and shoot, the Sony DSC-P10! That camera was awesome! I was shooting my family and friends all the time!

How did you find your groove?

I started to take photography seriously in 2010 when I got my first DSLR, the Canon XSI. The best advice anyone ever told me when I first got a DSLR was “to keep shooting” and that’s what I kept doing. I practiced and practiced, watching a lot of youtube tutorials and studying a lot of photo exifs on Flickr. It wasn’t until 2013 when I invested in my first water housing that I realized I found my groove. I learned a lot about my camera when it came to shooting the surf and I felt that if I could shoot surf, I could shoot any style of photography.

* Sony A6500
