Who or what got you interested in photography?
Well, I originally started studying art. Oil painting and sculpture specifically, I got a little frustrated and wanted to branch out a bit. Being totally ‘’light’’ and colour obsessed lead me down the path of discovery with photography.

Both, they offer their very own different appeals.

What was the best/worst gift you ever received?
With my excitement receiving a gift, on opening it to my surprise an iPhone box appears, inside of it, not an iPhone, but cans of tuna. (My friends are really strange, thinking this was the best idea ever)
What do you love doing on weekends?
You will find me usually on wine farms, and riding some trails with my bike, the more secluded the better… I love being secluded in nature.
