"Jack of all trades, master of some"

My journey in photography and videography began with a passion for skateboarding and the desire to capture the action alongside my friends. We started by creating our own films, which sparked my interest in carrying a camera everywhere, learning from peers, and immersing myself in skateboarding media.

As a professional skateboarder, I gained valuable insights from both sides of the camera, deepening my passion for capturing moments on the road. Traveling the world with my camera has given me access to unique places, people, and experiences. Documenting life around board sports became my way of journaling the journey.

Along the way, I’ve produced various types of video content, ranging from short commercials to full-length films and documentary-style videos.

A milestone for me is my solo photo exhibition, Dimensional, which showcases skateboarding through different reflections, honoring the unwritten rules of skateboarding photography but also knowingly braking them.
