About Me:

I was born in East Africa, raised between its sun-soaked soil and the shifting sands of the Middle East, later in Europe’s cobblestone streets. I’m an engineer—a solver of puzzles, a seeker of patterns. But through the lens, I’ve discovered a different kind of alchemy: transforming fleeting instants into timeless narratives.

Life is a mosaic. Each culture I’ve lived in—each market’s chaos, each quiet dawn—adds a piece to the grand design. My mind thrives on connections: how a shadowed glance in Athens mirrors the resilience of an Indian street vendor or how the laughter of a Berlin stranger echoes the warmth of a Spanish sunset. Black and white distils these truths to their bones while colour erupts with the heartbeat of a world in motion.

My photography is a chase. I stalk the unscripted—the smile that fractures before it’s fully formed, the tension in hands clutching a fading tradition, the dance of light on a crumbling wall. I wait, watch, and listen until the moment cracks open, revealing the raw, unspoken stories beneath.

But this isn’t just about beauty. It’s an act of preservation. I’m wired to fix what’s broken. As a photographer, I document what’s at risk: vanishing cultures, fragile ecosystems, and the quiet courage of everyday lives.

My shelves sag under the weight of photobooks—Doisneau’s simplicity, Araki’s chaos, Salgado’s soul, Parr’s wit. They taught me to see sideways and to frame the familiar as foreign. They inspired me to go out and capture a child’s grin in Nairobi, a fisherman’s weathered hands in Oman, and the way Parisian rain slicks a cobblestone into a mirror.
