In celebration of Father’s Day, we’re shining a spotlight on fathers who have mastered the art of photography. We had the pleasure of speaking with Pablo Veiga and Dave Kulesza, two talented photographers who shared their insights on the intersection of photography, fatherhood, and design.
Featuring a special Q&A highlighting fathers in the photography field – exploring the creative perspective of those behind the lens.

What sparked your interest in photography?
I grew up with photography at home. My grandad was an artist and he became a photographer at the age of sixty. So we grew up with his photos at home. Twenty years ago, I met my wife, and she’s an Interior Designer. She cultivated my interest for interiors and architectural photography.

What sparked your interest in photography?
About twelve years ago, we purchased our first family home and we started to do our own DIY renovation. I developed appreciation for the process of design and build that led me towards architectural photography.
What is your photographic style?
In terms of shooting, symmetry and colour are what kind of draws me to an image. Brutalism is a movement which particularly inspires me. I've done a couple of photographic series which come from brutalist movements. One being the Japanese Metabolism movement, and the second being architecture in North Korea, which was quite heavily inspired by the Soviet Union.
Tell us about your family
My six year old is starting to pick up the camera, and taking pictures, which is interesting. It’s just a natural habit, which I think has developed by seeing me take photos. We do quite a lot of creative tasks together. They are little creatives, they'll spend hours drawing, and doing awesome crafts. So I think naturally, they have developed that skill by a subtle influence of my creativity.
