I am a portrait photographer and documentarian of cultural life, exploring how identity is shaped through artistic practice. Once a musician, I turned to photography after an injury ended my path in performance, finding in the image a new rhythm of expression. My work focuses on the unseen artists who give form to culture — dancers, musicians, and artisans whose daily devotion often passes unnoticed. Through light, gesture, and presence, I seek to reveal their humanity and the quiet strength behind creation. Each photograph is both recognition and record, transforming ordinary moments into stories that endure.
