My name is Sebastian Boatca, a photographer – writer based in Brussels, Belgium, editor at FUJI X PASSION – Inspirational Photography Magazine and former vice-president of VIEWFINDERS – The Photography Club of Brussels and I embrace life through my experiences as a traveler and passionate photographer. The artistic expression is one of the ways we can blend into nature strings and communicate with the people around the world.
Photography is a way to express visions and feelings, worlds that emerge from melting the moment with the available photographic tools, a way to connect people with different views of the same universe. A camera is a tool which captures a fragment of space in a moment frozen in time. The way each photo looks like is a result of a unique inspiration, a set of factors that will never repeat again.
It is said that the best camera is the one you have on you. So true! More important than the camera itself is how you use it. The photograph is made by you (a blending of heart and mind) – the camera is just a tool which works in the favor of your vision.
