Stories of people
If I could paint, I’d create portraits, but the camera is a brush I understand better. I enjoy capturing authentic stories of people pursuing their passions, here are a few examples.

Motion design & graphics
I'm an 80s kid who had an early crush on computer graphics. Somewhere between C64 and before I picked up a camera, I worked as a freelance motion designer. From film title sequences and TV channel idents to commercials, interfaces, and logo animations - back when sleep was optional.
