Photographer/professor
I learned analog photography in my high school years, but in that period of my life I was more driven towards the fine arts, which I practiced for ten years.

After working and teaching all around the world I had a vision to connect all my experiences in photography again in 2016.
My main disciplines are portraiture, movements and creative works for artists, theatres and companies. As I usually shoot fast moving people, hence the name: Moving Target Photo. I also teach visual communication, composition, posing, lighting and editing techniques.
