Each and every photo shoot stands as a journey for me. Besides providing a loosely structured storyline, a mood board to set the base tone of my vision, I prefer to refrain from giving specific posing instructions to my subjects.

The free-flow interaction with the surrounding environment only happens when the boundaries are lifted, and the magic always happens spontaneously.

[one_third][/one_third][one_third][/one_third][one_third_last][/one_third_last] [one_half] [one_half] The combination of natural/ambient and studio lighting fascinates me. While scouting for locations, I am drawn to sites that respond and fit the mood and the color palette of the wardrobes.

I truly embrace the flexibility and quality of studio lighting. Like what Robbie Milne used to say: “Keep it simple, light it beautifully, and you’ve got a winner every time”.
