Photomode Photographers Q&A #35 - nanabu

That was a fantastic read, CCShaft7. Given that I've always enjoyed your work, it's really nice to get to know you a bit more. Thanks for taking the time to do this! 👍

Hoping the thread doesn't die - any word on whether nanabu will be participating? I hope so, I love his photos.

I second that^

Ha, I totally forgot about this. Don't know why.

I very much hope Nanabu does too.

Thanks for posting Lee and thanks for sharing Mustafa - wonderful read. Great choice of favorite picture, although you have quite a few you could have chosen from. I'm glad you chose Fishy (Jacob) - I'll wager I know which picture is his favorite... (at least, I already know which one of his is my favorite. )

Once again, great read. It's really nice to know something about each person behind his avatar / nickname.

Nanabu, you always loved shooting sessions in group didn't you? ^^




I remember this session and it was a lot of fun



BTW...Thank you leeislee for mantaining this great thread alive.

i like this thread!

Good to know you a little bit Mustafa. I have questions about the shop you work at. Tell us a little bit more, because it looks like a place we all want to visit and see the cars being restored.

Nice read, nanabu!

Now let's hear your secrets, Jacob!

It's great to know more about you, nanabu!
I remember the first time you scedule your very first photoshot.


and the GTR History are my favourite of them all.


Would love to do it more again in the future.

Had the time to read everyone's Q&A.... very inspirational!

Up

Maybe this thread could be transfered in the GT6 forum, neh ?

Good idea Jérémy!

^ +1 Then the already interviewed members could share their new favourite photo or some new knowledge! 👍

I'm working on it...should be up soon!

I'm ready for my day in the sun with you Lee!!!👍

Or maybe not yet. My body of work is still so-so. Keep me in mind! I'm trying.

Cool, good news
