About Me
“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the
act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have
read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
Ansel Adams
By trade, I am a Journalist.
I discovered my passion for photography back in 2006, when I bought my first DSRL camera.
Many of my pictures talk about the feelings and moods that I felt during my trips over the last
few years. Being an intuitive and spontaneous person, I like to convey warm emotions.
I’d like for people to understand photography and its fine art – the mood, the delicateness of a
particular moment, the lighting, and the photographer’s decision on how to frame it, to capture
its essence.
“I don’t shoot what it looks like, I shoot what it feels like.”
