Nothing newsworthy, just moments from everyday life. I like to lose myself in the streets, letting thoughts fade while I focus on what unfolds around me, carefully composing life as I see it. 
The Independent Photographer
"Faded"

A group of youth plays a ball game in a derelict sports complex in Havana. Despite uncertain futures, they find a sense of community and fleeting hope in the shared spirit of the game.

Feline Harmony was captured at a local fisherman's port in Turkey in June 2024. During the summer months, when fishing regulations keep the fishermen ashore, cats roam freely in search of food and companionship. The image portrays black cats resting on white plastic sheets and a white cat amidst dark fishing nets, creating an unexpected and candid Yin and Yang effect.

"Mirror mirror on the bike"

Amid the lively chaos of a bustling procession in Kathmandu, a quiet blue-walled alley offers a rare moment of stillness. Silhouettes of passersby drift by, painting the scene with fleeting motion. An elderly man appears, observing the festivities in silence, his reflection caught in the shine of a nearby motorcycle. For a brief moment, calm settles within the city’s whirlwind of energy.
Piercing Through the Crowds
An ongoing series dedicated to women that have been victim of domestic abuse. Women being pushed into isolation, forced into the background of life. Their identities and freedoms stolen.
