As a travel and portrait photographer and videographer, the world is my studio. More than just exotic locations and wild adventures, my passion is to share people's way of life and cultures from around the globe. Through my work, I show the world and the people that live in it with a curious childlike vision. My intention is to use my images to open to what's behind the wall, to help the viewer to see the other, different than themselves with acceptance and appreciation.
