Can I say that I am passionate about Google products, especially sharing places, advices and above all, pictures?
…Yes, I am. 
If I was like a child at Christmas when I received the Connect Live invitation? Yes, like a classroom full of children! It is unbelivable to have this opportunity to share tips, ideas and to meet people with the same passion and discover places through their eyes. Doing it in San José is a dream that could come true!
Since Google launched Street View, I have been fascinated about it and I spent hours and hours to visiting the world. When I had the chance to visit Google Zurich (head of Google Maps) and the Google Earth flight simulator (screens all around and a 3D mouse in the middle) - I was completely amazed! The motivation to take pictures of places was born…
When Google launched the Business View program in 2015 (a certification was required), Google gave the best tool ever to share places like Street View. I am proud to be a trusted photographer and I love to add new content for the community. It is a source of pride to make an exceptional place visible to everyone with high quality content.
Sharing local businesses and making people curious about amazing places was one of my goals. And I like to do it with high quality images. For example, if a restaurant takes on its charm at night, I will take long exposure for the starry light effect of the lamps.
Shooting at objects that are the soul of a place.
If a place is made for large events, the photos will only be meaningful if they have been taken in the middle of the crowd. Even more feelingful in a virtual tour!
If you are like me, passionate about photography, keep in mind that every step in a city or walking in nature can offer a beautiful image. You don’t need particular abilities to shoot “the” moment. Just press the button with your feeling of the situation. Keep an open mind, be curious and your photos will naturally become instinctive and natural. In addition, they will become your best memories and you will love to share them!
Throughout my shootings, I met so many people who gave me advice or new places to discover. All these reasons are just a part of why I will continue to do it! Having the opportunity to meet the people that have made it possible could be the best way to do more!
