It was December 2009 when I had my very first DSLR camera, Nikon D3000. A registere nurse turned into a photographer on that fateful day. I already had an interest in photography since I was a little boy. I loved looking at beautiful pictures of other people’s work in newspapers and magazines. Little did I know that what used to be a simple fascination is now my passion.

​

I did not take formal classes in the field of photography, but I attended several workshops. In photography, you never stop learning, you just keep on growing.
 

My gallery covers different subjects – from Travel Photography to Portraiture, Landscape/Nature, Fine Art and Music Photography.
 

For me photography is a way of life. It is an art that expresses who I am and how I see life. I consider photography as a GIFT from GOD. And since I am blessed with it, I want to use it to bless others too. My heart’s desire is to transform an ordinary picture into an inspiring work of art. I want to capture the beauty out of the ordinary. I long for people to see the world through my eyes and give glory to God.
