Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live without regrets.
ABOUT ME
I'm a world traveling nerd photographer who has a terrible problem avoiding french fries at 2 in morning and waking up before 10am (that's why I'm self-employed). I love what I do and it definitely defines who I am, it makes my life unpredictable and the best days are the ones where I learn something new. I'm more interested in being real than nice, but you always know where I'm coming from, also a cynic and closet romantic.
PHILOSOPHY
"There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent six months in India documenting AIDS. I travelled all over the country, met amazing people and tried to bring their stories to life. It was a grueling, heart-wrenching experience and one of the most incredible things I have ever done in my life.
