INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
Always give your best to whatever you are working on!
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
I interviewed at Canepa, and I was so nervous. They showed me the photography booth that they use inside to take pictures of the cars. I had always used natural light as much as possible. I had never used studio equipment before. So, I realized my school had the same lighting set up and I skipped school one day and spent the entire day learning how to use the equipment. For my interview test, they gave me a red Porsche to photograph because red cars are had to photograph. It turns out that they loved my pictures and I got the job!
