Why did I start mineral photography?

I have been collecting minerals for 18 years now. I was always fascinated by the rich shapes and colours of minerals. I developed an interest in nature photography because I love to collect minerals in the field and by doing, I travelled the world and the beauty of nature captured me… I studied landscape photography and a few years later I went into mineral photography, using that technical know how. This is a form of art for me, a way to express myself amongst the daily science and business tasks.
