My Story
Hi, I’m Wei Mao, the owner/editor here at ShutterFrog. My photographic journey began in 2015. That year, 2015, a cruise ship named Costa Atlantica made a round-the-world cruise. And luckily enough, I was one of the cruise members! That made me think: why don’t I get a professional camera?
So my first camera was Nikon D5300. After traveling to many countries with it and taking thousands of pictures, I developed a great fondness for photography. My idea of a professional photographer was formed. I nailed a photography interview by a company called “The Image Group” and started to work on Disney Cruise Line.
There, I had a chance to use different cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment. I did event photography and portrait photography during working time and took photos of landscapes, buildings, animals, plants, etc., in my spare time.
I recently had more free time and decided to resume photography as a hobby. My enthusiasm was sparked once I touched my new camera. I realized I needed photography to make my life rich and colorful so that I could escape the hustle and bustle of the city and come back full of energy.
