I started in photography when I was 12 years old shortly after my father passed away. He loved photography and cameras himself and this hobby was a way to feel close to him and then it grew as I got older and I became a graphic designer and web designer. My life abruptly changed when I was 22 years old and after an emergency surgery and 2 month hospital stay, I was diagnosed with a particularly complicated case of Crohn's disease that I've been struggling with since. now photography means a whole different thing to me. now its an escape. now its therapy. now it is a part of me and my pictures are an expression of what I am feeling and going through. I love lighting, and shadows that express feeling in my photos.
