film and digital photographer

My photography journey started in New York city, when I worked as a graphic designer in Fashion industry. Inspired by beauty and creativity, I picked up my first DSLR. Since then, I wanted to document everything.

As I graduated from New York Institute of Photography, I moved to Montreal, a city known for its arts and culture, where photography is a big part of the equasion.

I was lucky to have been immersed in everything Montreal had to offer from popular food festivals - La Poutine week and Le Burger week to numerous industry events, workshops, lectures to being a movie set photographer all while discovering diversity and creativity of Montreal.
