About

I photograph people and places the way they feel — no stock poses, no over-directing. What matters to me is light, pauses and what happens between the frames.

On a shoot I observe more than I direct. That is why even people who “can’t pose” look like themselves in the pictures.

In between commissions I photograph for myself — that is how the country collections on this site began. Some of these frames are available as Fine Art Prints.

Now: Bali · October — December 2026

How a shoot works

  1. 01

    Request

    Tell me what you would like to shoot, where and when. I reply within a day.

  2. 02

    Idea and place

    I suggest a location, the time with the best light and the mood of the pictures.

  3. 03

    The shoot

    Relaxed, no stock poses: I guide you, but I don’t direct every move.

  4. 04

    Your photos

    I select and edit every frame myself — you receive them online in full size.
