Thoughts on Photography

People look at art to escape. In that escape, we often find presence.

Drawn to people who are bold and unapologetically themselves, the images I create aim to celebrate authenticity and the power of self-expression.

Photography is my way of exploring identity, freedom and human connection.

Biography

I was born in Bucharest and grew up in Vienna, where I discovered photography while documenting the city’s underground creative and queer communities. Photographing the people closest to me taught me that the most powerful images come from trust, intimacy and shared experience.

Those experiences shaped the way I see people and continue to influence my work today. I’m interested in identity, freedom and self-expression, creating images that feel intimate and powerful.

In 2025, I moved to Paris to immerse myself in a new creative environment and continue evolving my visual language.
