“Life if terrible, but I decided that it is beautiful.”
It is about beauty in the world. Beauty that so many of us do not see running all day, and do not value.
Photography is something that I do as a hobby. Creating my own pictures, and stories, but also using stories of others. Sad or funny, mysterious or simply, but always beautiful.
So if you have story to tell or interesting idea - contact me. I am happy to cooperate with make up artists and designers. Currently in Singapore.
