I studied Philosophy and Journalism and have worked as a news editor and reporter. Currently, I freelance and indulge my creative side by writing fiction. My short stories have found a home in literary magazines and anthologies both locally and internationally. Born in Bucharest, Romania, my affinity for photography dates back to my childhood when I assisted my grandfather in documenting the lives of families in a remote village in the Apuseni Mountains. Over a decade ago, I attended a photography school, where I was introduced to the works of renowned masters such as Koudelka, Economopoulos, Gruyaert, Webb, Pellegrin, and others. Their influence has significantly altered my perspective on the world. My main focus in photography centers on capturing the human presence within its surrounding environment. I am drawn to the peculiar aspects of ordinary life, seeking the surreal in everyday moments and firmly believing in the creation of a dreamlike realm using only real elements. The geometry of objects and of landscapes, the emotions captured in facial expressions, the chromatic and dynamics – all are genuine, and they carry an inherent sense of wonder. I am equally fascinated by the natural solitude experienced by individuals, even in the midst of a bustling crowd. The realms of writing and photography mutually influence each other in my creative pursuits.

I'm a professional admirer. I admire the surrounding world and I look at it with curiosity and joy trying to discover the meanings and shades that might go unnoticed to a hasty gaze. I aim at realizing a vibrant photo, displaying different atmospheres, surprising the supernatural, the mystery, paying attention to composition, details, emotions rendered by color, light, shapes and characters.

It started as a simple pastime, but it has become a work of increasingly serious nature; a means of social cognition and expression. As a graduate of the ‘Francisc Mraz’ school of poetic photography, I have studied the aesthetics of photography and the framework analysis method. I have developed my intuition and continually strive to incorporate personality, expression and sensitivity in my photos. Through the viewfinder, I seek the artistic way; to observe the universe itself, as well as the spirituality and the elements that touch me. My photos are expressions of moments of my life and the people I interact with.
