“ To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

Since my childhood photography has been one of my most loyal companions. The first time I held a camera in my hands I realized that I had the power not only of capturing a moment in time, a memory, but also I could tell a story. Furthermore, I could create my own world. My camera become my canvas, my emotions; my brushes.My dreams, my happiness and my sorrows; the texture of my images.Later I discover that It was through my lens that I hold the key to new and exotic worlds.Sometimes my camera and I have witnessed the social context of a changing world. Some others times, it has been the beauty of simple things that have always been in front of us and because of its proximity, they became invisible to our senses.It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to share with you through these images a part of my world and myself.

My interest in photography was initially focused in the fine art segment (capturing nature and still life images). I still do enjoy this very soulful art and actively practice it with my Camera .

There is however, a different joy in shooting events or portraits. I feel honored every time knowing how very important & personal it is to you. Since my formal degree is in Business Administration, I do highly benefit from the attention-to-detail skills that I have acquired over the years and apply them regularly to photography techniques.

The new era of digital photography and its close integration with computers has changed photography in significant ways, but the art itself has remained simple and untouched. I often strive for simplicity in my photos and believe that "less is more".

Likewise, I had simplicity in mind when designing this website and I hope you have enjoyed your visit. Thank you!

Passionate Photographer,
