Team Custom SLR



How did you get your start in photography?

I’ve always liked taking photos, but I got serious with it back in 2000 when I was really getting heavy into architecture photography. I used to run around and spend countless nights shooting around the city. Back then, there were not a lot of set rules against shooting in public buildings and establishments so you leave it up to the security personnel how they deal with photographers. Most of the time they let you do what you want, or sometimes let you off with a warning.

Which accomplishments are you most proud of?

The fact that I can do this professionally and have been for more than a decade is something I am thankful for. Doing something you love and making a career out of it is definitely an accomplishment.

Which Custom SLR products do you use?

Aside from the Glide-One Strap, I LOVE my M-Plate Pro. Easily attaching to a tripod, then switching to a monopod without the need to remove or unthread anything from your camera, and top that off with a red ProDot! It’s these innovations that eliminates the need to bring those small extra items in your packing lists that enables you to focus more on your photography.

How does using these products improve your photography and/or comfort? What difference can you feel?

Custom SLR products just simply work. They are reliable and functional.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Haha! I wish I could stop time – hence, photography.
