The artist
Who am I?
Behind the lens, beyond the frame.
My story with photography began shortly after my tenth birthday, at a photography competition. Armed with a camera and a limited number of shots, I captured my own shadow beneath a graffiti inscription reading BOSS. A rather unexpected winner, and perhaps the first glimpse of an artistic curiosity I hadn’t yet discovered.
In 2012, my parents gifted me my first DSLR, a Canon 550D. Nearly fifteen years later, I’m still using the very same body, accompanied by lenses collected along the way. What started as spontaneous snapshots gradually evolved into portraits, events, sports, nature and, eventually, a wider exploration of visual storytelling.
I’ve always been drawn to black and white photography, occasionally interrupted by a touch of colour when a particular detail deserves to stand out.
More recently, drones and FPV have introduced me to new perspectives, naturally leading me towards filmmaking.
A collection
The Now
A Peek into a Collection of Timeless Interruptions.
I see photography as an interruption of time: a fleeting expression, a passing shadow, a coincidence or an otherwise ordinary moment worth keeping.
The Now brings together fragments of life captured through my perspective. Moments that have passed, yet somehow remain.
Because the present lasts only an instant. Sometimes, an image lets us visit it again.
