Biography
Up until the age of 26 I wasn't able to admit that photography is my passion. I was expected to take on a more conservative route and went on to become a journalist.
But I guess you can't run away from your heart and your destiny. At 25 I quit my job, left my home, got rid of everything and went backpacking in Central America. That is where I discovered photography and how a 3 month trip became a year and a half of working experience. Most of my time was spent between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
I have recently moved to New York to pursue my photography career.
