For many years, I have worked at the intersection of makeup artistry and photography, allowing each discipline to inform and enrich the other. Through this dual practice, I have gained an intuitive understanding of image-making across platforms, not only contributing creatively, but authoring and directing the visual narratives behind every commissioned project.
My work is rooted in editorial storytelling, born from a foundation in fashion where I once subscribed to the industry’s idea of perfection; flawless faces, composed scenes, untouchable beauty. Today, I curate something more honest.
My photography is not about manufacturing beauty, but about revealing it.
And in these fleeting, unrepeatable moments, I find what has always mattered most:
the quiet perfection of being real.
