“Let there be light!” - such powerful words! They essentially marked the beginning of something of cosmic proportion. 

As a photographer, considering the impact it has on most of what I do, I see myself as a student of light - always seeking ways to creatively use the light around me in order to produce work that would strike a chord in viewers’ minds.

At first, I started taking photographs as a subconscious mechanism to keep my memories ‘safe’, however, as time went by, I slowly realized that I really enjoyed spending time behind the camera.

The most intrinsically rewarding feeling I get is my clients’ feedback once they receive photos that I have taken of them - the smiles, the hugs, and the thankfulness they want to express. All that encourages me to get better at what I do.

Ultimately, I am in the business of capturing apparently mundane moments and retelling them through beautifully portrayed stories. I hope you enjoy this journey with me!
