I love to photograph the world through my eyes and share my experiences of my journeys and people I've met. Currently, I focus mostly on landscape and street photography with film, but also have a deep passion for portraiture, fashion photography and events.

Why I shoot film
I shoot film for many reasons, but a main one is I love the colors and softness that is almost impossible to replicate with digital without tedious editing. I've also grown to love the process of medium format film with only 10 shots and forces you to consider which shots to take and forces you to be present in making sure it's properly exposed. On top of that, nothing beats the rewarding feeling of getting scans back and seeing the results of properly exposing.
