"Dubai-based professional photographer with more than 10 years of experience, I began my career as a graphic designer. However, my passion for lights, shades and colours led to me morphing into a photographer.

Light is something that has always fascinated me. The same location seen at different times under different light conditions leaves the photographer in me amazed. Most of my photography inspirations are from cinema; cinematographer Roger Deakins is my all time favorite. Some day I hope to possess a portfolio - and a professional attitude - similar to that great man!

Over the last eight years in the UAE, I’ve contributed my photography skills to magazines such as BBC Good Food, CitizenK, WatchTime, InsideOut, Friday, Gulf News and Fatfeat, to name a few.

I love meeting and interacting with people every day, some of them I take along in this journey called life."
