About two years ago, I bought my first professional camera, but I became a photographer way earlier - I became interested in photography as a child, attending photography workshops, and later taking photos on high school roadtrips. I had an eye for the details of everything around me and the beauty other’s didn’t seem to notice. I always thought of photography as an art form, but only later discovered it was also a way of expression, a visual voice. It helped me become a better listener and communicator, and inspired me to further explore my interest in people. Naturally, I started taking more portraits, and in the last two years, I met many wonderful individuals either in front of, or behind the lens. I took on projects ranging from commercial, lifestyle, product and fashion photography, and learned valuable lessons each time I agreed to do a photoshoot. Meanwhile, I assisted photographers who were way further career-wise, and tried to grasp as much knowledge as I could about working with people, which is an area about which I still continue to learn to this day. I also spent some time away from the camera, reading books, organizing the coolest photo festival, and going for a beer with the members of our photo collective. While I’m not there yet business wise with photography, I can safely say that I am already in a way living my dream and surpassing expectations I had about photography when I was just starting out. However, I’m setting my goals high and looking forward to all the creativity that's about to come!🤗
Thanks to everyone who supported me on the journey so far, you're the best!🫶

Lately, I’ve been up to a lot of stuff — reading novels, servicing vintage espresso machines, becoming interested in interior design, and listening to old Japanese funk and soul. Since starting a business and becoming a part-time university studio photography assistant, I got a bit fed up with photography as it became my profession, which made me pursue other hobbies and passions since I was already occupied with photography at work. However, I haven't given up on analog photography and have put quite a few black-and-white films through my cameras. It has helped me stay sharp and think in different ways and from different perspectives from which I could create. I'm not too active on social media lately, but I'm keeping myself busy by coming up with new concepts and visions for my photography path. Stay tuned 👋
