An incurable curiosity about the human being is perhaps the main reason why I become a photographer and writer.
With my camera and pen as an excuse I can take part of people's stories and life.I have traveled around the world for various aid organizations and on my own assignments where I have portrayed people's different living conditions. Often with a focus on women's rights. I love to experiment with different cameras and techniques. I believe in challenging myself by trying new expressions to constantly evolve. I am also a poet, filmmaker and photo teacher.
I am always open for new collaborations, so please feel free to contact me!
