ME & MY PHOTOGRAPHY
Exploration. Adventure. Experimentation. These fuel my Photography.
I wander. I shoot. I tell stories.
Story // The Why: Capture imagination through reality. Create art.
Portrait // The What: Express attitude, personality, identity. Whatever the subject.
Minimalistic // The How: Use natural light. Edit for feeling.
“May your adventures bring you closer together, even as they take you far away from home”
WHY I SHOOT.
To tell captivating, impactful stories that tap into our shared humanity.
I use photography because it’s an art form of subtraction not addition.
— The best photographs are bold and simple.
— They remove the unnecessary, the chaos.
— Their simplicity stirs emotions.
I am a storyteller. I shoot to connect with nature, cultures and people. I share to inspire and to reveal untold stories.
“If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures”
WHAT I SHOOT.
I shoot portraits. Portraits of nature. Portraits of culture. Portraits of people.
As long as an image contains a captivating story - an attitude, an identity, a personality - it is a portrait.
It’s about something, not of something.
It’s insightful. There’s more than what appears.
It captures emotion without words.
Forget mugshots. Forget poses. Portraits are all around us.
“Behind every portrait, there’s an idea I want to convey. A concept, a quote I want to interpret”
HOW I SHOOT.
Creativity through constraints. Spark questions like ‘what' if’ and ‘why not’.
Spontaneity is exhilarating. It forces experimentation.
Natural light rules. It’s challenging but rewarding.
Leave questions unanswered. It’s not the ‘story I tell’ but the one the viewer finds within.
Edit to accentuate. Make the story shine stronger.
Focus on story. Candidly shot. Genuinely told.
“I am forever chasing light. Light turns the ordinary into the magical”
