Fotografer Steven Rooney

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—I used to work for a director of photography on a couple of movies after learning on super 8 when I was a kid. I spent some time as a graphic designer and retoucher and was always interested in photography. But I was much more interested in digital artistry. I learned to photoshop before I could use a camera. I trained as a teacher and it was at this time that I learned to use a camera. A friend of mine asked me to shoot his wedding. I was still shooting film at the time. I used a canon AE1 which belonged to my Dad.
