I never set out to become a photographer.

 

In fact, I lived a full creative life before ever picking up a camera. I spent over 20 years shaping stories through packaging design, helping brands speak beyond words. But somewhere along the way, I began to crave something more human. Something that

would outlast trends and timelines.

 

And so, photography found me.

 

It started with people. Strangers met in unfamiliar streets who welcomed me into their lives without hesitation. Their faces, their rituals, their environments. I realized the camera wasn’t just a tool. It was a bridge. A quiet invitation to stay longer, observe more closely, and listen without interrupting.

 

I’m drawn to the visual language of culture. How identity is expressed in gesture, clothing, posture, and craft. My work centers on environmental portraiture and the daily poetry of ordinary life. The subjects may change, but my approach does not. I photograph

with respect first, curiosity second, and instinct third.

 

Design taught me the power of storytelling. Photography deepened how I connect with the world. It taught me to surrender structure when the moment calls for something real and unrehearsed. The convergence of both practices defines how I now work, with intention, clarity, and deep empathy.

 

I seek both the quiet moments and the vivid expressions of life. I look for what’s human: resilience, pride, grace, contradiction.

 

And always, dignity.

 

I continue to travel with curiosity and consideration, seeking stories that are both culturally specific and universally human.
