A Second In Our Life | As a photographer, I am mostly attracted by the human being, and its presence (or sense of presence) in my frame is of utmost importance.
I travel the world to catch special moments that will convey surprise, wonder and hopefully some humor stemming from the daily life of people around me.
I am mostly intrigued by our differences as I find that the more I learn, the more I grow as an individual.
It’s the everyday serendipity that happens and often goes unnoticed that fascinates me and excites me in ways that nothing else does.
