This is my visual diary, this is the world, as i see it and how it has caught my eye for the past years.

Ever since I was a kid, I discovered photography really intrigued me. My Dad's biggest hobbie was, well, Photography, and I remember being so amazed at everything he could do with his cameras (which at that time, were strictly out of boundaries for me). I didn't know how to take pictures, how it worked or anything about it i just knew i loved it and watching my dad do magic and capture a moment in time. I then got (after heavy begging haha) a simple disposable camera and started what would become one of the biggest passions in my life (photography&music) . I still have those first pictures. Then in 2003 i got (after more heavy begging) a HP Photosmart 735, 3.2 megapixels really simple point-and-shoot, with which I shot everything I could, pushing its limits to make it as "manual" as possible to experiment. It is pretty much 8 years now from that very first shot I took, and I am glad to say my love for Photography hasn't diminished a bit, it has only grown stronger. Currently I own a Canon t2i (550D) DSLR, two film SLR's which belonged to my dad (and I managed to get him to give them to me): a nikon F1 (circa 1965) Nikon F2sb (circa 1973) and, yeah, my faithful Photosmart point-and-shoot and I own vintage cameras such as a Kodak Instamatic 20, and others.

I love to shoot with natural light and capture the stories i have in my head, i am a daydreamer and in love with mood and color.

This is a wonderful site I've been browsing through for some time and I see many talented people around here so I wanted to join so I can learn and share with everyone.

I do mainly portrait/editorial kind of work, but I'm open to ideas. Contact me for prices based on what you need.
