Photography has accompanied me for most of my life. What began as curiosity evolved into a lifelong practice of observation.

My work is rooted in awareness — the simple act of paying attention. Whether photographing people, architecture, museums, or public spaces, I am drawn to moments when light, geometry, and human presence briefly align. Most of my photographs are not planned; they are discovered through patience, attentiveness, and an openness to what appears.

The portfolios presented here reflect recurring interests: the grace of human relationships, the visual language of architecture and concrete, echoes between images, and solitary figures inhabiting public space.

Originally trained in psychology and later practicing as a periodontist, I maintained photography as a parallel pursuit throughout my adult life. Both disciplines reinforced an appreciation for awareness, careful observation, attention, and presence – qualities that continue to guide my work today.
