Is photography an art or a technique?

Both I think….

How do you feel about the popularization of photography? Many people today have expensive professional equipment, they shoot themselves and already therefore consider themselves photographers. Is this fair?

I think the most important thing is to see, after the equipment. The photographer imagine the frame before push the button.

Tell us about your usual photo shoot? How does it go?

I shot with 2 Nikon cameras with all range of lenses, but other angles I use the drone, if its permitted. Depends on the scene I pick the best angle which is good for my scene….
