Who I am

I photograph silence, geometry, and light — often found where routine goes unnoticed or where nature quietly unfolds.

My work moves between poetry and observation, in both street photography and contemplative landscapes.

I walk slowly through places like São Paulo, London, Macclesfield, and the Highlands of Scotland, seeking fragments — of people, of land, of time.

Not to explain them, but to preserve the feeling before they disappear.

This is not documentary. It’s authorial photography guided by contrast, solitude, and the beauty of the ordinary — whether in a crowded street or a windswept valley.
