Intro


Bio

My love affair began when I was a little boy. I devoured film the way that darkness devours the light. It didn’t matter what genre or how good the film was: if I had access to it, I watched it.

By viewing anything and everything, I learned the art of storytelling. And because I found my voice through a camera at a very young age - I focused my attention on the visual aspects of storytelling: the composition of shots, the movements of the camera and subjects within the frame, the lighting design, the visual palette of scenes and the image as a whole.

I’ve been photographing images and filming personal stories that moved me in some way. My inspiration comes from meeting new people and traveling to as many new places as I can. What is life and nature, anyway, but one enormous canvas from which to draw inspiration?
