ABOUT

As a professional fine-art photographer, I seek beauty in the ordinary and the imperfect, embracing what is often called the wabi-sabi aesthetic. My work captures moments that often escape our attention—whether it’s a bustling street scene, the quiet stillness of a weathered bench, or a unique perspective through the lens of a drone. My camera acts a curiosity compass, guiding me toward the subtle, the rustic, and the unexpectedly elegant. Each image is an invitation to slow down, take a second look, and discover the world anew. By exploring a diverse range of subjects and techniques, I aspire to spark a sense of wonder and demonstrate that what is often overlooked can hold the most captivating stories.

Here’s a review of three concept work projects at the 4:55 mark.
