Bio
Some can sit still and be content with a slow pace, whereas others constantly vibrate in the search of expressing themselves. I do it as a creative, having found my passion for visual communication in the form of photography and video production.
​
Since completing my studies in Photography and Graphic Design in 2007, I have been involved in creating captivating visuals across many platforms.
I started my professional career as a graphic designer but soon stepped into the world of being behind a camera. By pursuing a keen interest in understanding the nuances of business, I have developed an edge to compete at the highest standards within the creative fields. Together with a mindset of high output and being deadline-driven, I am equipped to deal with the high demands of this fast-paced industry.​
My process is to observe and capture with a raw authenticity. Always aiming to show something different to that which the casual eye glances over. Looking harder while communicating with real emotion. Constantly in pursuit of the best frame to tell the story.
​
I believe that everything has a story - every brand, product, face, and every place. Stories are filled with meaning that have the power to drive sales, start wars, or bring strangers together. As visual communicators,, we have a responsibility to show every entity in its absolute best light.
