About me My brief story

It all started when I spent a year as an exchange student in the United States when I was 16. I wanted to capture my experiences to share them with my family. Thus photography sneaked into my life unnoticed. After returning home, I made nature photos during afternoon walks and excursions. Photography gave me the opportunity to forget about every problem for a while.

I became interested in portrait and fashion photography after finishing my fashion design studies. I needed a photographer to capture my clothing collections, so I started to photograph my self-designed clothes and I really enjoyed the challenge. I wished to make fashion photos that weren't artificial or set, but elevated and timeless, like the fashion photos of the 1950s.

Today I make mainly artistic wedding photos, couple photos, and portraits. Photography for me is a special connection opportunity, similar to dancing. As an Argentinian tango dancer, I tune in to my current dance partner within seconds, following all his moves. I also use this ability to tune in to photo shoots. When I take photos I strive to collapse the wall represented by the camera and create a natural atmosphere for capturing honest moments without masks. My muse is the ever-changing natural light.
