My journey began when I was just a child, snuggled up in the back of my parents’ Volkswagen van. As a kid, my mum was my partner in crime, taking me on wild adventures during our vacations. Each trip was filled with the thrill of exploring new lands and immersing myself in different ways of life.
A spark for photography ignited in me during these travels. I felt compelled to capture the world around me, to create a visual diary that could both recount my experiences to others and remind me of the
amazing places I had been lucky enough to visit. Over the years, my love for capturing the world’s beauty only grew stronger. I am drawn to it all, from landscapes and cities to ancient monuments and the people I meet along the way.
University was where I fell headlong into the world of Art History while studying cinema and visual arts. A particularly insightful professor illuminated the intricacies of art’s evolution through the centuries,
and lit up my imagination. The groundbreaking styles of the Impressionist, Cubist, and Surrealist artists left their mark on me, inspiring me to see reality from a whole new perspective.
My career as a film and documentary editor over the past two decades introduced me to the concept of association. Editing taught me the power of storytelling through the combination of varied elements, and the meaning that emerges from individual shots placed together. It felt natural to apply these principles to my photography. Each time I return from my travels, I dive into the digital processing of my photographs, looking for hidden details and aesthetic connections that bring my memories to life. I often describe my artworks as cinematic scenes, but instead of a linear sequence of shots, I
intertwine them into a single composite, a narrative composed of many smaller stories.
After two decades behind the edit, I chose to turn my eye fully toward my own work, and photography became my art.
My hope is to inspire others with the same desire to travel, to explore, and to see beyond the immediate. I want my images to invite the viewer to pause, to lose themselves within the frame, and to experience the scene in their own way.
