The people behind the work
From nowhere to this
I didn’t study photography. I didn’t plan to become a photographer.
It all started on a small island in the Indian Ocean, where I lived for a few years. I was just an amateur, shooting landscapes with a friend. One day, he came up with the idea of building our own photo studio. It never happened. But I had bought new lighting gearm, and I was eager to test it.
The only “studio” I found was an abandoned tower on the beach. I convinced my girlfriend Cristina to pose. The place was dark and there was heat, humidity and dust. But a shift happened that day. Two months later, five of my images were exhibited, and a magazine published my work. That was the start.
Later that year, we left the island, moved back to Europe, and I gave myself one shot: try to make a living from this or drop it. It was a leap into the unknown, out of the comfort zone, to build a new life around my passion.
No backup plan. No contacts. No mentors. I started from scratch, with almost no idea what fine art photography was supposed to be. This doesn’t mean my vision is unique. But I discovered it through my own path. It took a bit of time but that made all the difference and it shaped the way I work and the way I look at the human shape.
Since then, I’ve refined my technique. I’ve won awards. I’ve worked with women from all walks of life. But my work isn’t about accolades. It’s about what happens when someone stops performing, and something real comes through.
That’s what I look for. And that’s what I try to create, every time.
Cristina, the Feminine Presence That Changes Everything
Cristina has always been part of my artistic journey. Since the very beginning, she’s supported me, encouraged me, and stood by me. It was clear early on that we would work together. She had a real passion for makeup and fashion, and a natural sense of beauty.
Today, she’s a professional makeup artist. She adapts to each woman’s expectations and personal style, making sure they not only look beautiful, but feel like themselves. Her goal is never to transform. It’s to highlight what’s already there in a way that feels true.
She brings calm, warmth, and a quiet sense of care. She knows how to hold the space. Not by speaking much, but simply by being present in the right way.
And I know for sure: what we offer wouldn’t be the same without her.

Once the makeup is done, she stays for the entire session. Technically, she assists me during the shoot. But in reality, her role goes far beyond that.

Her presence creates trust. It sets the tone for the whole experience. Many of my clients have told me that having a feminine presence like hers added a lot to the experience. For some, it was even what made them feel ready to book. That says a lot. She doesn’t push, she doesn’t impose. She just makes people feel welcome, seen, respected, and safe.
And I know for sure: what we offer wouldn’t be the same without her.
What makes a portrait matter
A good picture takes on its full value when it triggers an emotion or an idea.
The wonder occurs when photography goes beyond the curves to talk about who you are. A photograph that exposes you to tell your story takes on a deeply symbolic meaning, and you’ll never get tired of it.
That’s what I’m doing.

Where others may see a very beautiful image, you see a true expression of yourself.
That’s what I’m doing.
How I See and Work
I like real conversations. I don’t hype things up. I don’t force energy.
I care about the people I photograph.
I work with all kinds of women.
They have different ages, different stories, different bodies. That’s the reality of my work. What matters isn’t how they look, but what the image says.
Creating a beautiful image starts long before pressing the shutter.
It begins with trust. With attention. With the ability to make someone feel comfortable, without trying too hard.
I know how to create that space. It’s something I’ve always had and I believe it’s more important than knowing how to take a photo.
I guide every session fully. I pay attention to everything — light, body lines, composition, expression — always with respect and calm.
More importantly, I want the photo to mean something. I want it to reflect a part of her. Something she is, something she’s becoming, something she wants to remember.

I work with all kinds of women.
Some come to reconnect with their body after a difficult chapter. Some want to see themselves differently, with more honesty, more kindness. Others simply want to celebrate who they are right now, without needing a reason.
Some are marking a turning point. Some want to create a memory. And many are just looking for a portrait that feels like them — elegant, personal, and real.
They have different ages, different stories, different bodies. That’s the reality of my work. What matters isn’t how they look, but what the image says.
Not for me. Not for others. For them.

If someone doesn’t feel comfortable, nothing meaningful happens.
The image might be technically perfect, yet still say nothing.
I guide every session fully. I pay attention to everything — light, body lines, composition, expression — always with respect and calm.
I want each woman to feel absolutely beautiful. I want the image to be beautiful too.
More importantly, I want the photo to mean something. I want it to reflect a part of her. Something she is, something she’s becoming, something she wants to remember.
The aesthetic matters. That’s why women come to me.
Still, the feeling has to be there too. Otherwise, it’s just another nice picture.
