Hi! My name is Percy T. Mejia and I am 29 years old. Photography was present in my life because I was quite young. I also create videos and instruct courses, seminars and workshops on portrait photography, and, less frequently, mobile photography. My dad was a photographer, and I first picked up a camera at the age of 7 or 6. I shot something, however, obviously, without much comprehension. The realization came when I was a teen, about 13 or 14. I recall when my pals and I began skateboarding and performing our first tricks, we got interested and had a wonderful urge to take videos and pictures of our buddy. We spent a great deal of time outside with the camera and started to understand to edit. The procedure for filming and shooting motivated me, and that I needed more. But during my studies I paid a great deal of attention to movie shooting. Using Movavi Video Suite, which I downloaded from https://www.movavi.com I tried to convert and edit my original videos, create slideshows, etc.. It supports most modern file formats for photos, video and audio. After graduation, I went to a skateboarding contest. I happened to match a cameraman there who had been shooting contextual videos. We must know each other, and I showed him my first videos. The very next week he helped me move on my very first commercial shoot for businesses. I've been working with them for around seven decades now.

The regular started to grind, and I suddenly realised I wasn't able to take and edit correctly. So I dropped everything and moved to Indonesia. I spent two whole weeks shooting and resting for my own enjoyment. It was then that I took my first steps in a new direction. Consequently, I came to the conclusion it is very crucial for a creative person to do what he enjoys. I'm pleased to see that technology hasn't stood still and there continue to be many avenues for people wanting to start.
