Professional photographer of portraits & reportages

I love the variety of different assignments. Being professional?

To me it means having enough experience to make a client feel at ease, being precise, communicating clearly, timing everything perfectly, always having back-up material and delivering results that go beyond expectations.

Urban, street and travel photographer

In my spare time and during street walks I shoot street photography. I love using the street photography style in documentaries and reportages, and sharing my street style knowledge in lessons and walks. Prints are also for sale.
