ABOUT ME

A thirty-something young, photographer with and architect’s eye and degree, experience-oriented, curiosity-driven, born into a travel-loving artist family (personally over 50 countries and counting), family and friends first -mentality, books/plants/
movies/art/food/music/sailing/podcasts-lover, feet on the ground - head in the clouds, social introvert. 
  –  A few possible ways to describe me, all falling short of the whole truth.

When I was sixteen I was in a serious accident and me surviving was a small miracle. The experience taught me how ephemeral, and how beautiful, life is. Not to take it for granted. And to capture the moment. For me photography is exactly that, a way to capture the moment and embrace the life. It’s a form of seeing and being present. It gives me a reason to look and search deeper, to satisfy the eternal need to understand this mystery we call life.
