Rodrigo Izquierdo from the United States is a photographer whose photographic journey has been a continuous one where learning, experimenting, and creating images inspired him to connect with others with his visual arts. He strives to capture the world the way he sees through his lens and share the beauty that some of the seemingly mundane and basic things contain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My name’s Rodrigo Izquierdo. Photography has always been a part of my life. However, it wasn’t until I acquired my first professional camera in 2015 that I truly embraced the art form. Since then, I’ve been on a continuous journey of learning, experimenting, and creating images that inspire and connect with others. My goal is to help others discover the joy and fulfillment of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t have any formal training, but I constantly study the top photographers in their own categories, like Lindsey Adler, Joel Grimes, Joel Sartore, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My first shot with a DSLR camera was in 2015, in Page, Arizona. My wife and I went there to celebrate Valentine’s Day and took a tour of the most popular canyons. In Lower Canyon, we really clicked with our tour guide, who invited us to go “shoot at night”. That night he gave me some tips and let me borrow his Nikon D3300 and did some night photography with some steel wool burning and used my wife as my model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result ended up in an art gallery a few years later when I started submitting to photo competitions. That encouraged me to believe I’m at least above average since my first shot. Special thanks to Derek Kanaswood (Mouse), for getting me into professional photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this time, I’m using the new Sony a9iii and Sony lenses. The photos I submitted to this contest were taken with the Sony 70-200 G Master for the Bee Happy image, and the other two were taken with the Sony 24-105 mm f\/4 lens in my small home studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to be able to win many photo awards in many different categories. And earn enough notoriety to then be able to help new photographers be encouraged to also submit their work to international photography competitions. Learn how difficult it is to win the top prize. How much fun it is to be constantly in the top. Help them learn to create art in their own unique styles. And hopefully, that way, create a broader art culture in the world of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
