Sorry to say that the audio on this interview is one sided, I was unable to hear Lucas. Could you please check and see if you can re-post this interview? Thank you
Hello Daniel, It is working for me. Can you please check once. I can hear both the sides.
I don’t like that guy! Whenever he was asked crucial questions about his techniques, he always talked ambiguously. Like he liked all lenses, having no preference when shooting food, he didn’t remember how he lighted his subjects, and such.
Thank you for being honest about your feelings. I found Lucas pretty open in general, there “may be” some questions which he wasn’t expecting. About the lenses question, he mentioned that he uses lenses between 35 mm to 80 mm but nothing more than that.
I really want to be a photographer, i am scheduled to graduate in 2 years, i would appreciate it if u could please contact me at 816 214 5804 or please send some information. Thank You. Shakayla Gauthier
