The experience

Being a freelance fine art photographer with MA photography degree and more than 17 years of shooting experience in fields of architecture, event, corporate and lifestyle, I’ve done really a lot. But I consider myself soooo lucky to have been mainly shooting weddings and happy family gatherings for the past 12 years.

I admit, it can be intense, but it’s also highly satisfying and rewarding. And it’s not just because the cake is usually around ;) But honestly, nothing feels as good as shooting true, beautiful emotions and being surrounded with love all the time.

With the experience of shooting more than 150 weddings, I still can say I haven't seen it all. As a matter of fact, I say bring it on!

How I see things

There are so many photographers out there and we all use almost the same cameras to shoot. Yet our images are very different.

The reason behind it is that we as persons are so very different. By making images we take our stand, show our point of view and actually tell our own stories.

In a way, it doesn't matter the subject. What we want to see, we’ll find it everywhere.

And my story is all about the amazingness of this life. Of its beauty, joy and light.

I’m an eternal optimist. But my enthusiasm is not simply naive. I know that bad things can and are happening. I simply prefer to focus on the good things, as I also Know that this focus allows more of the goodness to happen.

So, naturally, I tend to find those subjects everywhere. That’s why my images are funny, quirky, and alive. Or as my clients usually say, “honest and beautiful”.

Mindful photography

Whether I shoot weddings or families or corporate I try not to be lost in the thoughts about how my frame might look like. But rather be fully immersed and present for what’s happening in front of me and appreciating it for what it really is.

This makes my approach to photography a documentary, almost candid kind. I’m there, but most of the time you don’t notice me. This leaves a room for me to just be present and observe, and it also allows you to relax, and be your most natural and thus most beautiful self.

I'd be doing as little as possible and making minor interventions, removing myself as a director from the equation, and bringing your best to the surface.

I believe & know that:

We are Love and of Love.

A little kindness with inspired work goes a long way.

Everything happens for a good reason.

We are part of something larger that connects us all.

Beauty is everywhere. And combined with love it can melt, it can release, it can soften. It can heal. It can help us remember who we really are!
