How did you discover your passion for photography?
I am a chemistry major with a passion for drawing since childhood. I rediscovered this passion when I met a friend who was a very talent portrait drawer so I thought to myself I could do the same through camera. This how my story began, I bought a camera and set a goal to take the most beautiful portraits.

What inspires you?
My inspiration depends on the goal behind the taken picture; for example: if it is a nature related picture, I get inspired by the composition of the forest or sea or mountains. If it is a portrait, eyes inspire me most, I try to accentuate kindness, beauty and purity. Ultimately in any photoshoot, the lighting is primordial because it changes the whole picture.

What’s your originality? What gives you an edge that no other photographer has?
I am a work in progress but I think mostly my simplicity, authenticity in everything appeals to the audience.

Who is your idol photographer and why?
My favorite photographer is Patrick Demarchelier. He is a timeless classic who shows the purity of a woman’s beauty. He inspires me for my fashion photoshoots for sure!

Any celebrity you dream of photographing? How do you envision the photo-session? What original thing would you plan?
Since the first time I heard “Thirty Seconds To Mars”, I dreamed of taking pictures of Jared Leto. But lately I dream of photographing Mads Mikkelsen, Michael Fassbender, Daniel Craig… I think they are amazing people.
