Shooting Concept

Through my lens, you might see yourself from another angle. I search for beauty and aesthetics while staying true to the moment.
I search for unposed moments, and work with natural environmental light.
We will create a shooting concept based on your needs and wishes.
Both of us are creators; we interact, and as a result, we have this product based on synergy.

How Is It Going, a Photography Session?

My approach

to taking portraits is to be present and observe, letting the person be — whether in movement, doing nothing, thinking, dancing or whatever.

No Time Limits

Normally, a photoshoot lasts about 2.5 hours, but let it flow, no rush. The main thing is to spend time well and create unique moments.

Personal Portrait

I believe that to capture good portraits, I need to truly know a person. I’ll ask you questions; we’ll talk. Think about photo session like about a meeting with a friend.

Being in Front of a Camera

If you’re not comfortable in front of a camera, I totally get that feeling! That’s why I’m careful about how you feel and give you space and time to start feeling comfortable.
