I got my first camera at the age seven, it was a birthday present from my dad. It was one of those old black and white film "Zenit" cameras.
I immediately started taking photos of our dog, my older brother, our cat and my grandmothers hands. Every Saturday night my dad and I converted our extremely small kitchen into a dark room. I still remember the butterflies in my stomach, when I first saw the image appearing in developing tray.
My parents were of a generation that couldn't accept an artistic profession for me and guided me to ones like doctor, lawyer, etc. I found a career that suited me and
studied for a Diploma in Hotel Management and Business Administration. I worked in Hotel Meetings and Events Sales, and as a Sales Manager. Over time I continued to have my higher creative calling. I decided to quit my daytime job and train to become a photographer. This was the best decision I have ever made, taking a couple of courses in London and studying photography at the London College of Communications and learning a lot from the work of other great photographers. My first tutor was Luciana Franzolin at the London School of Photography and I remember her words at the beginning of the photography course: "For those, who have decided to become a photographer, congratulations, this is the most beautiful profession in the World". I cannot agree more.
I work and live in London and I am very passionate about life and the people around me. In addition I love cooking, music and travelling. I am highly motivated and energised.
I will provide you with an unforgettable record of your special day or which is tailored to your personal needs capturing the most wonderful moments, that will last forever.
Thank you,
