My work is rooted in curiosity.
I’m drawn to the subtle gestures, the in-between moments, the way light wraps around someone’s face when they’re not paying attention. Whether I’m photographing people, places, or fleeting details, I aim to create images that don’t just show, but reveal. that evoke a feeling, a question, or a pause.
My work blends documentary and cinematic approaches, capturing the unposed, the in-between, and the quietly powerful. I’m less interested in perfection and more in presence: the way light moves, the way emotion lingers, the way a scene tells its own truth if you let it.
I’ve always been driven by curiosity, about people, behavior, and the silent details that most overlook.
I approach each project with an analytical eye and a human focus. My background and mindset allow me to observe deeply, think in layers, and translate complex scenes or personalities into clean, meaningful visuals. It’s not about just documenting what’s in front of me, it’s about capturing how it feels to be there.
I’m driven by the thrill of not understanding something, until I do.
Whether I’m shooting the quiet intensity of a stranger’s stare or the vast stillness of a landscape, I’m always searching for something real, raw, or just a little offbeat.

I believe good photography isn’t about perfection.
It’s about raw essence.

If the work speaks to you, let’s talk, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.
