my hobbies
I am crazy about cycling!
My goal is to spend an average of 10 - 15 hours a week training. Obviously with all the traveling I do it does not always work out that way. But as soon as I am back home the next day I am out cranking kilometres. In 2010 I gave up racing after more than 20 years, I still train as if I were racing, but without the stress of race day. During the Giro, the Tour and the Vuelta you will find me watching hours of racing on TV or streaming. As I said before I am crazy about cycling.
me as a person
I love coffee!
Aquarians can be random and downright bizzare at times coming out with things that leave a puzzled look other’s faces. Some may wonder whether they are from another planet but their friends love them for their eccentricities because who wants to be normal anyway… that’s so boring. I possess a unique ‘out of the box’ way of thinking to come up with new ideas and solutions that nobody else can see.
Make no mistake about it.
I dream BIG and have the skills to turn those dreams into a reality. I have the intelligence and imagination to come up with a plan and the tenacity to see it through til completion. I have tendency to over-think the absolute hell out of things. Sometimes I find myself over analyzing things to the point where I feel incredibly stressed and anxious only to realize that it isn’t that big of a deal in the first place. The school of life and the natural gift for understanding new ideas and concepts… FAST.
my style
I have always admired
David La Chapelle, Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton just to name a few.
Having gone to art school and not photography school, I have always felt it was to my advantage. I really like to create dramatic, quirky, cinematic look and feel in my visuals, be it photography or video. I pride myself in creating realistic yet interesting lighting. I almost always create and test my lighting schemes in studio before traveling to a location. This to me is key to creating the perfect lighting, not to mention when on set it is always comforting to the client to see my confidence in what I am doing.
my vision
Sharing Projects and Trust.
Each project is an experience, for me and for those choosing to entrust me the task. My work philosophy aims at quality, ongoing research and empathy. Work is a serious matter but smile is always On, the approach is always proactive and constructive and the client’s trust is my first goal and the greatest satisfaction.
