Currently Hakemo’s photography is limited
to his iPhone, which does not shoot in a high
enough resolution to support the quality of
his work. Although he would love to produce
original content at some point, purchasing a
camera is just a dream he “clings to” for the
moment.
In the meantime, Hakemo takes full
advantage of free stock images, which offer
high resolution and quality captures. “It’s a
dream for an editing geek,” Hakemo gushed,
“You can just choose what you like and go
with it.”
Despite the hardships of his younger
years and the health complications that
sparked his journey as a digital artist,
Hakemo endured and made the most of
otherwise negative circumstance. “I have
developed a lot since my health problems;
it’s shaped me into who I am today.” he said.
He currently lives in Gothenburg, Sweden,
with his girlfriend and two dogs, working by
day as a consultant for Volvo Cars.
For now, Hakemo is grateful for the outlet
his artwork offers and the attention his edits
receive. “I create a lot more nowadays compared
to when I got sick, almost like an ever flowing
stream. It’s been a really good year.”
