in Engineering. His fluency in languages brought him a desire to
travel and learn other cultures, he visited and lived in North and
South America, Europe and Asia.

Fascinated by New York he concentrates on capturing its unique essence
through his photography.
People are what interest him, intimacy of
people during day or night is what he documents. He portraits ordinary
people representing the energy felt in the streets of the city. |
