Fotograf Alin Panaite

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—After working for some time in fashion photography and in the studio, the step to wedding photography was very natural. I've always enjoyed working with people, and being together with them on a special day gives what I need for capturing great shots.

—Er du glad i å reise?

—yesss!
