Seeing what’s already there.

Hello! Glad you found my website :)

I create art and, within photography, cannot really fit myself into a “category” (e.g., travel, street). I just wander around and, when something catches my eye and I feel I can capture its essence with my camera, I press the shutter. Of course, the result is not quite how I perceive the world (can’t transfer my consciousness now, can I?) but a rough approximation will do.

I am drawn to tranquility and simplicity. That is what I am, consequently, naturally inclined to project outwards. My sincere hope is that, through my images, you can catch a glimpse of it within yourself (bonus points if I can also (indirectly) share my sense of wonder with you).

Photography is, to me, both a medium for self-expression and an opportunity to slow down. While there’s plenty of gratitude we owe to our “modern world”, the constant striving for more can distract us from what really matters. Sometimes, all it takes is a step back. Only then can we come to see and enjoy all that is already there.

Hope you have fun exploring around here. Feel free to write me an email for any questions or thoughts (memes always welcome), and have a great day!

Ad-hoc Thoughts

The very process of creating art brings me joy, but so does sharing, especially if it can somehow inspire another. This website is meant for that. The core of it is photography, but there’s more in “The Vault”.

While monetizing my work is not the point (nor do I want it to even remotely become the point), I am open to the idea of selling prints. If there’s something that inspires you, and which you would like to own, reach out to me via email and we’ll figure it out :)

If you wish to otherwise support my work, you must know that I really like coffee — specifically, latte with oat milk. So, one pretty good way to do that would be to buy me a coffee. (Smooth.)
