P001-DUNES (2025)Dunes explores the subtle dialogue between dunes and rock — soft curves and rugged lines shaped by time and wind. In shades of beige, the textures reveal a quiet, almost lunar beauty. Sand and stone. These photographs were taken on the Ponta de São Lourenço hike trail in Madeira, Portugal

P002 - ABSTRACT SHADES (2025)Abstract Shades is my latest experiment in abstract and surreal photography. Taken in London and Strasbourg, these images explore the tension between light, form, and fluid colors.





P003 - SPECTRE (2023)Spectre is a curated collection of my favorite black and white photographs — captured across different cities. Since 2023, this evolving series continues to grow with quiet discoveries and fleeting impressions.








P004 - TRACES OF DIARY (2024)Traces of diary is a project that consists of capturing moments of life, stillness, and aesthetic composition. It’s a gallery of photographs taken across Europe over the past four years, since the first time I held a camera.



















 

INFO




I HAVE BEEN EXPLORING PHOTOGRAPHY SINCE 2021, WORKING PRIMARILY WITH FILM TO CREATE IMAGES THAT FEEL BOTH DISTINCTIVE AND TIMELESS. MOST OF THE TIME, I DRAW MY INSPIRATION FROM PHOTGRAPHY BOOKS AND ART EXHIBITIONS. INFLUENCED BY ARTISTS SUCH AS NOBUYOSHI ARAKI AND DAIDO MORIYAMA, I AM ESPECIALLY DRAWN TO THE ENERGY OF THE STREET. WHETHER CAPTURING A FLEETING URBAN MOMENT OR A LANDSCAPE COMPOSITION, I STRIVE TO MAKE EACH PHOTOGRAPH UNIQUE - A PERSONAL VISUAL ARCHIVE OF THE PRESENT MOMENT.
