I'm a Photographer inspired by Nature and the Magic of light. With a background in Art Studies and Magic as a Performing Art, most of my works are influenced by mystery and dynamics, such as Humankind and Nature... Time and Space... Photography is such a fascinating endeavor, in a way it can portrait a great array of feelings, memories and symbolism from a moment captured in a split of a second, it's like a reminder for us to pause, to observe and to experience in our current high-paced era.
