Overview
About Me
Easy-going person, obsessed with filmmaking and photography. I study Cinematography and love to travel whenever I have the time. My favorite thing is to combine traveling with a film project, that's why I'm always on the lookout for stories to shoot a short documentary about.
Here's a little something that I shot in Iran a few years ago: https://vimeo.com/297347732

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I met a monkey in Peru and he stroked the monkey tattoo on my arm.
I woke up on a rooftop in Brooklyn and saw the sunrise over the Manhattan skyline while listening to Solander.
Teach, Learn, Share
If you're interested in photography and/or cinematography, I can teach you some basic knowledge. I would also love to do a collaboration with other filmmakers or photographers. And I love to cook meals from all over the world with guests or hosts.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can cook, I suppose. At least I'm not terrible at it.
