Photography is both as creative as it is technical. A creative mind is required to produce attractive images, but a technical mind is also required to understand, correctly operate, and precisely repair the cameras used to make those images.
Photography has spanned more than a decade of my life, and continues to do so even today. Since I stopped creating images as a studio portrait photographer, I moved to repairing cameras for professional photographers.
With the passing of 2009, I have clocked 3 years in my current job of repairing DSLR cameras and lenses at Camera Clinic Pty Ltd. Most of my work involves repairing of Canon products by replacing damaged or worn parts. Due to company confidential policies, I cannot show or teach you how to repair cameras and lenses.
