How I Got Into Photography
Photography has always been something I’ve loved. It started simply—while flying, I’d find myself reaching for the camera to capture the view, the light, the clouds, the quiet beauty from above. Over time, what began as a personal habit turned into something more. Friends started asking me to take their photos, and I discovered how much I enjoyed capturing real moments—those candid, honest expressions that show people as they truly are.
Years passed, and I realized that alongside flying, photography had become another passion of mine. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about freezing a moment in time—especially when it’s genuine, not staged. That’s what I aim to do with every photo: catch people being real, in the moment, and true to themselves.
Approaching New York – Captured from the Sky
Snapped this on my phone while flying into New York—proof that sometimes the best views come when you’re just looking out the window. No fancy gear, just the right moment.
What Do I do Best?
What I do best is capturing people as they truly are—unscripted, unposed, and completely real. Whether it’s the quiet glance between a couple, the joy of a family laughing together, or the subtle emotion in a professional portrait, I focus on those genuine moments that tell a story.
I bring a calm, easygoing energy to every shoot, helping people feel relaxed in front of the camera. That’s when the best images happen—when you forget the lens is even there. I combine that with a strong eye for natural light, detail, and composition to create images that feel timeless and true.
Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or family session, I’m there to capture the moments you’ll want to remember—and the ones you didn’t even realize were happening.
