About Me

I am an eclectic human being whose experience ranges from chemistry and physics to photojournalism and documentary photography, data science to public health. Shortly, I spent more time figuring out how to change my path than actually working for it. Still, I only feel complete with a camera in my hand and a story to tell.

Fascinated by human beings, my focus lays at the intersection between memory, identity, faith and folklore. Deep in love with Edinburgh, the Volga, Spanish folklore, photo archives and pad Thai.
