I am a passionate photographer who enjoys capturing human emotions and telling people's stories through photos. I get satisfaction from seeing the smiles on people's faces when they view the photos I take. I especially love photographing weddings and developing connections with the brides, grooms and guests. When not taking photos of people, I find inspiration in exploring rural landscapes and urban scenes. I strive to imbue each photo I take with a small piece of my soul through thoughtful composition and a nostalgic perspective. My love of photography began at a young age with encouragement from my family, and I continue learning through experience and formal education.

1. About Me Page
Every photo is a journey and I can be your trusted guide. It all startswell beforeI actually pressthe
shutter and it doesn’t need to end. Memories live forever if they are fueled by something which endures
time. Photos are a glimpseback in time, to those precious seconds when you decided to look atthe camera
lens and smile. Taking a photo as a mirror can bring in your soul the exact mixture of emotions needed in
order to see the magical beauty of life.
Photography has always been for me a way of giving back to the world. As I press the shutter
button, I am confident that I capture what is best in life,what has meaning, and what helps people relate
to wonderful memories. There is nothing more rewarding for me than to see the smile of people’s faces
when they discover how much emotion and love I tried to put in each frame. I feel blessed each time I get
to capture happiness, satisfaction, excitement, and love. I am fascinated with human emotions and their
ability to give lifeto a photo. From my point of view, there is nothing more valuablein photography than
having a subject which is not reluctant to share the beauty residing inside its soul.
I love weddings and attending them as a photographer surely creates some connections that will
last beyond the ceremony itself. As I do my best to tell the story of each wedding, I become friends with
the bride and the groom, as well as with other guests. My philosophy of work is that you can get the best
out of people if you actfriendly and if you are ableto earn their trust. Once the invisiblestrings areput in
motion, I can bet I can extract the most beautiful shots possible.I amdelighted in capturingthe happiness
of others,and developingand editingthe photos in the days after reassuremethat their feeling aregenuine
and that their love will last.
When people are not around, I search for inspiration in the spacearound me. The countrysideis
my favorite environment for exploring and producing great shots, but I also enjoy the dynamicity and
generosity of the urban landscape. Taking abstract shots, which make viewers think and develop various
interpretations is oneof my favoritephotography themes. If you show me something rustic,a bitoutdated
by our modern times, I will immediately take out my camera with excitement and start thinkingabout the
perfect composition. I usually focus on less explore motifs and you can sense a small dose of nostalgia in
my line of work.
For me is always importantto keep in mind how my relationship with photography started in the
firstplace.You can call itloveatfirstsight, but I also need to acknowledge the support of al l peoplewhich
stood behind what started as a hobby and is nowa way of life. I don’t remember the exact age at which my
parents put the firstcamera in my hands,but I am proud to say itwas a brownie. I continued with a twin-
lens reflex camera and it all become much more serious. The years spent at College of the Sequoias in
Visalia,as well attending the New York Institute of Photography, contributed in a decisive way to make me
the professional I amtoday. I often relate to those years in order to remember how much there is to learn
about photography and how easy it is if you are truly passionate about it like me. Nevertheless, technique,
knowledge and the right gear remain nothingmore than words if you arenot leavingbehind a small particle
of your soul inside each photo that you take.
People have different conception of what makes the proper conditions for the perfect shot. I just
ask for happy people, a great natural or man-shaped landscape,and somethingextra. Itcan be rain,fog, or
the fabric of your dreams, anything which is able to act as a veil, or filter, enhancing our reality in an
unsuspected and mind-challenging way.
