Vizi: Tell us about yourself as a photographer.
Migle: I have always loved photography. I asked my mother for a fancy camera, but since we lived in Europe with a not so great economy, we could not afford a good camera. Instead of giving up, I took a lot of pictures with my phone. I moved to the U.S.A., and mentioned to my wife that I had always wanted a really good camera, and guess what? She got me a really good camera. I was so thrilled and I have been training myself using the camera.
Vizi: Where and when did you take that winning photo? Is there a story behind the picture?
Migle: The picture was taken in 2017. I am a food lover. One day, I just decided to take a lot of pictures of different foods. I was kind of “playing around” and practicing taking pictures. I ended up with a lot of pictures. Then, the food contest came along, and I asked my friends for their opinions. I asked them to pick the top three pictures, but they picked different pictures - there was not one picture that they all picked. So, I decided to pick a picture myself to submit into the food contest. I chose that bowl of strawberries because I felt like it looked the best with bright red color and it contrasted well with the white background.
Vizi: What equipment did you use for that shoot?
Migle: iPhone 6S
Vizi: What are your thoughts about Vizi365 as a business?
Migle: I think Vizi is such a cool business. I have so many pictures and it is a good way for me to make use of the pictures I have. I have to admit that I had not been so consistent with submitting photos into every single contest, but I am definitely more motivated now!
Vizi:What advice would you give someone who would like to become a photographer or a Vizi Affiliate?
Migle: Never give up, keep going, you will never know when you will be a winner! It can happen! Practice taking pictures with your eyes.
Congratulations to Migle Chapman! Good luck with your future photo entries!
