Biography
A life shaped by movement has influenced how I see people and the world around me. Living and traveling across different countries has given me a deep appreciation for the beauty of diverse cultures, perspectives, and ways of being. Those experiences taught me to slow down, observe carefully, and connect with people naturally — qualities that sit at the core of my photographic approach.
I ultimately chose the East Coast of the United States as the place to build a life, settling in Connecticut — a place that welcomed us and offered balance, perspective, and a strong sense of community.
Early exposure to architecture, design, and place sparked my interest in photography. Over time, photography became more focused and intentional — less about documentation and more about presence.
Here in Connecticut, encounters with local black bears and witnessing the rare appearance of the Northern Lights left a lasting impression, deepening my connection to nature, chance, and the quiet beauty of unexpected moments. I carry deep gratitude for the friendships and chosen family I’ve found within the bear community, whose warmth, trust, and presence continue to shape both my life and my work.
