I became fascinated with photography at an early age, thanks to my godmother who lent me her personal 35mm slr film camera. It wasn't the camera that got my attention, but the art I could produce with it. Plus, I knew nothing about photography and the experience was new to me.  So I captured everything around me and I loved the way it felt when I heard the shutter click after I gently pressed the camera's shutter button. Just knowing how a simple tool like a camera could help me create images made me happy and  I wanted to share my work with the rest of the world. And more importantly, see what people thought of the visions that I had in my mind. Moments that evoked emotions on film. Photographs to cherish from generation to generation. and priceless photographs I would look back one day and enjoy personally. If only I still had that camera...a Nikon F1 (circa 1974).

Now eighteen years later, I have dedicated myself entirely to being a professional photographer. A true reason for living.

Being an artist all of my life, I can now confidently say I am a lifestyle photographer. And with a creative experience in my rear-view mirror, I love the fact that I get to shoot private portraits, special celebrations in people's lives and fancy weddings for a living. Yes, it is my full time job and I love it!

The artist inside me is always creating, and always seeking to leave behind a fine work of art. I can't help it and because of this I approach my photography in much the same way. I like to bring a fine art sensibility to all my wedding work. Some of it stems from my long-life art affair with painting, some of it from a creative interest in fashion and interior design. And lots of it comes from my experience with filmmaking and my short stint in Hollywood with cinematic productions. In brief, my work is what I love to see on my walls at my studio. My gallery of personal art which I can describe as Elegant, Romantic and Personal.
