Biography
My background originally lies in TV and video production, where I worked as a director and producer. About ten years ago, my focus began to shift towards digital photography, as I believe it offers greater freedom and independence to an artist’s creativity. Whether exploring remote corners of the world or capturing moments in my own hometown, I am equally passionate about both abstract and candid photography - these two styles allow me to seize unexpected moments and the magic of everyday life. I have always been a keen observer, and while certain themes, subjects, or characters may spontaneously spark my curiosity, it is my choice of light and composition that transforms these discoveries into compelling images.
