Qu'est-ce que vous aimez dans votre métier ?

What I love most about photography is how it can bring people together. A photo can bridge
differences, remind people of what matters, and make them feel something genuine like
happiness, comfort, or belonging. I want my work to have an impact beyond just looking good; I
want it to lift people up. Whether it’s a portrait, a celebration, or a quiet candid moment, I aim to
capture something that connects people to each other and to themselves. Photography gives
me a way to turn everyday moments into something meaningful, something that can make
someone smile or feel understood even for just a second. I want to be remembered for creating
something good — work that made people feel happy, hopeful, and seen.

Quels types de séances avez-vous réalisés et comment les avez-vous rendus spéciaux ?

I’ve worked on a wide range of shoots including portraits, fashion, engagements, food, events,
and editorial projects. Each shoot is a chance to create something meaningful with my clients. I
take time to understand their personality and vision, then bring it to life through creative lighting,
color, and mood. My projects like Dream Realm and Unfiltered Fashion reflect my cinematic
style and focus on real human emotion. I want my photos to feel alive — not just posed, but full
of warmth and energy that people can connect with.

Un fait amusant sur ce photographe

I’m originally from abroad and grew up under the British curriculum, which gave me a global
perspective and deep appreciation for culture, art, and people. I later graduated from the
University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in Computer Science and IT, so I’ve always had one
foot in creativity and the other in technology. Outside of photography, I’m passionate about
design, storytelling, and anything that brings people together, whether it’s through visual art,
tech, or conversation. My mixed background helps me see beauty in details that others might
overlook, and I try to bring that same curiosity and open-mindedness into every photo I take.
