How old are you?18 years old.
Where do you live?Bucharest, Romania.
How did you first came up with the idea of taking pictures?Ever since I was a little kid I was interested in visual arts. I was drawing a lot! My interest shifted from drawing to photography when I was about 13. When I was almost 15 I asked my parents for a DSLR. I got a Canon Rebel XTi as a birthday gift and bought a Canon 7D in 2011.
What lenses do you use?I mainly use a 50mm f/1.4. I also have a 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 and EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6.
What about lighting?I usually work with natural light and a reflector.
How do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in songs, experiences, movies I like, fashion magazines, people that surround me or I notice... I believe anything could be a source of inspiration.
What do you like to photograph?People, concepts and framed ideas. I prefer to bring my vision to life rather than capture spontaneous photographs.
Styling/Make up/etc?When needed, it's very important to work with talented people. I usually have an idea of what I want from the shoot and make sure the people I work with are familiar with the concept. A photo shoot is a team work after all, but as a photographer, you have to be able to direct everybody.
What role does hard work play in your photography?An extremely important one. In order to achieve a specific level you need to work and experiment. And I am still doing that. Trying to work out my potentials and get better. Nothing comes easy, especially in the begging. I save the money I could use to buy anything else for props. And that could usually means props and clothes that I could never use besides my photo shoots (haha).
Do you edit your pictures?I think every picture needs a touch. One of the reasons I love photography is that there are no limits. You can do everything you want to express something. I do that with my camera and a help from Adobe Photoshop CS5.
How long does it take to edit one photograph?It really depends. From 30 min to 1 hour, or even longer. But ideas may come in a longer period of time so I don't like to be in a hurry.
Did you take any photography classes?I was part of a class, but couldn't be there every week. I am more like a self taught.
Do you think you are talented?I couldn't tell, I would rather call it a blessing, or an inclination for image.
Who are your models?Friends, professional models or clients.
Can I be your model?Yes, you can. E-mail me at dimitri.caceaune@gmail.com so we could discuss the details and the rates.

What a shame...
But keep on going! I love your photographs! Every single one of them makes me speechless!
EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III or EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM? And does it have a big difference?
