“It can’t be done in a studio or frozen with a flash. I do it with patience and perseverance. I love to shoot people, especially kids, any age, anywhere. My goal is to make models act real and real people feel special. My passion is to gain their trust, exhaust the expected and capture the extra-ordinary moment.”
