What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to create commercial and brand-oriented visual content, partnering with creative teams in fast-paced projects where I can direct visuals, support shoots end-to-end, and deliver polished post-production work.

I’m a photographer and visual content creator with experience across editorial, fashion, and documentary work, including published coverage in Vogue. I translate creative briefs into strong visual narratives, bringing a studio-to-location workflow mindset to every project.

In fast-paced international production environments, I manage end-to-end delivery—from capture and art direction support to post-production and color workflows. My work spans lifestyle, portrait, and destination photography, aligned with brand guidelines.

I also enjoy building visuals with teams: collaborating with art directors, stylists, and production crews to develop concepts and execute shoots efficiently. Right now, I’m focused on developing commercial and brand-oriented content with the same editorial-level craft.
