About me

I've been a professional photographer since 1992; with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree. During all those years working as a freelance I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience photographing and lighting most subjects.

I am highly skilled and passionate about advertising photography. This passion in combination with my large experience comes through in my photography. I work closely with my clients to understand what they are trying to get from the images that I shoot which makes each photo shoot a unique and personal experience.

I have an extensive range of equipment which includes 35mm SLRDigital. I also have a fully portable array of high quality lighting which usually accompanies me on all my assignments. I use a mixture of traditional and contemporary techniques, in combination with a self-made lighting system. I apply efficient image processing (photo retouching, editing, color correction, enhancements in Photoshop and all post production requirements) that is critical for meeting client requirements and creative specifications. I also can assure the outcome and manage to meet the always heavy and strict deadlines for each client through technical knowledge, flexibility and high service standards motivation.

A true location freelancer photographer, no distance is too far. No job is too large or too small and all receive the same meticulous attention to detail. I am available for assignments for clients within all over the world, as well as clients in Europe who need high quality work from an experienced professional who is familiar to all international markets. I am an expert with "difficult photos" on location and can work in any place and under any conditions.
