About Me

I have a calm and quiet personality, and I enjoy the experience of being in a new city with people to get to know.

I've been an exchange student both in Germany and in France.

Currently, I am a master's writing my thesis on the subject of 19th-century photography.

I spend my time mostly hanging out with my friends, shooting analog photographs and developing them by myself.

Interests

I like to shoot film photography and develop my own black&white films. Very exciting and fulfilling experience!

Currently, I am trying to create a portfolio about my experience in France and who knows maybe it would turn into an exhibition sometime in the future.

I'm into literature, mostly novels and short stories. Some of my favorite authors are Oscar Wilde, Patrick Süskind, Ivan Turgenyev, Daniel Kehlmann, Henry Bauchau and so on.

I like to drink a bottle of beer with pleasant conversation or music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to take photographs with an analogue camera and try explain how developing process works. I know it may not appeal to everyone but it's definitely an interesting subject. Just give it a shot!

I also enjoy talking about history of photography and visual arts in general.
