About Me
I have been fascinated by photography since I can remember. Growing up, I was inspired by my father, an enthusiastic hobbyist photographer, and often found myself behind the lens of his camera during my teenage years. This early curiosity laid the foundation for what would become a lifelong passion.
My first serious approach to photography took shape in my early 20s, during a transformative period when I worked in the United States. Traveling through the vast and varied landscapes of America’s national parks, I found myself drawn to capturing not just the visuals of these places, but the emotions they evoked in me: the immensity of the Grand Canyon, the depth of Wyoming’s forests, and the sense of freedom I experienced on long road trips. Photography became my way of preserving those moments, translating the vastness of nature and the spirit of adventure into images that others could feel as deeply as I did.
As life progressed, my career led me into the world of finance, but photography remained a constant companion, evolving alongside me. The focus of my work shifted, as I began to capture moments of solitude and reflection during business trips. My camera became a tool for documenting the quiet, often unnoticed details of life: cityscapes viewed from hotel windows, fleeting glimpses of beauty amidst the exhaustion of long days. These images represent the rare moments of awareness when I could pause and recognize that there is more to life than the relentless grind of work.
My photography is often inspired by a sense of peaceful solitude and introspection. Often featuring vast landscapes or sprawling cityscapes, my images are usually of high definition trying to capture small details that might otherwise go unnoticed, a bias inherited from my professional life. Dark tones, shadows, and monochromatic palettes dominate my work, offering a quiet sense of tranquillity. Even when people appear in my photographs, they are always a part of the larger scene, never the sole subject. Through this approach, I aim to tell very personal stories that go beyond the image, inviting viewers to step into moments of contemplation and see the world as I experience it.
Photography is my self-note that there is more beyond the confines of work, a soft yet persistent reminder to enjoy small moments in the midst of our often fast and chaotic lives.
