About me

Freelance photographer and filmmaker.

With more than 20 years of experience as a photographer and filmmaker, I bring with me not only enormous experience, but also a creativity and passion that just gets stronger with time.

I pride myself on always delivering cinematic images and storytelling no matter what the project is. No project or assignment is too big or too small. Simply get in touch to discuss your project and ideas, and I will do my best to help you.

With a background in photojournalism, which guarantees authenticity in every frame, I have made the transition to commercial photographer and documentary filmmaker.
