I am a freelance photographer. My main focus is nature and outdoor photography, street photography and still life photography. I capture portraits and intimate details of nature and urban wild life. My fans love my unique perspective and my creative vision which delivers the essence of a moment in time or a place in the form of photographic art. My photography will bring you the sound of a waterfall or the roar of a subway train; a little piece of nature or the daily life on the streets. You will see, feel and experience the LIFE itself though it.

There is always more to what is obvious that will make ordinary look extraordinary. My ultimate joy and goal is to explore my surroundings to find and bring out that extraordinary through my art. When I have my camera in my hand exploring the great outdoors and the urban wildlife, I am truly happy and at peace, feeling rested and inspired.

If you have a beautiful garden, I may come and take portraits of your flowers. We may combine our efforts to create a work of art to decorate your walls. I may photograph you under a natural light with a photojournalistic touch. If you have a voice that needs to be heard, an issue that needs an attention, let me know. One photography may worth thousand words. We may create and work on a project together. I may photograph your business or your product(s) for promotional purposes.

An original art work would make an excellent gift for your loved ones as well as a fabulous decorative touch to your own personal space. Archival prints on metallic or luster paper, stand-outs, gallery canvas wraps are available in various sizes. I also create photography note-cards with 3.5 X 5 size photos.

Few favorite quotes:

"A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into." ~ Ansel Adams

"A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety." ~ Ansel Adams

"Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communication, offers and infinitive variety of perception, interpretation and execution." ~ Ansel Adams


"Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created." ~ Edward Steiche

"To me photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I have found it had little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." ~ Elliott Erwitt

"The world just does not fit conveniently into the format of a 35mm camera.." ~ W. Eugene Smith

"The best and most beautiful things in life cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart." ~ Hellen Keller
