For me, a picture is like listening to a good song. While facing it everything around you stops for a second. It’s like diving into the sea. Just you and the ocean. You coalesce with it. Everything becomes extraneous. And then one wonders about the story behind it. A story of a person. Of a place. Of a moment. Especially nowadays in the completely overstimulated world it is more important than ever to create small escapes. I take pictures to tell stories. To create something new. Something that outlasts. What draws us from everyday life. Let us dream. 

I’ve niched my photography around people, places around the globe and my passion for watersports.
