We both started using cameras even before the digital age. Since the first time we picked up a camera, we always collaborated and worked together. Our father is a photographer, so his passion for photography led us to this career. A big milestone was the moment when our father bought his first digital camera, a Sony Mavica with a floppy drive. From that time on we knew that digital photography is the future.
