Q: How did you get into professional photography?
When I was studying art & design, I wanted to get into photography but I never got round to it until much later.
I qualified as a professional hair and makeup artist in 2006 and I worked on photoshoots with professional photographers for a while doing the hair and makeup , but this still did not fulfill my creative need. I wanted to be more hands on and develop as an artist.
In 2008 I finely started to learn digital photography and now I am a professional photographer… but I am always learning .
Q: What do you enjoy most photographing?
I love photographing people but, as a photographer, I am interested by everything around me !
Q: How was 2010 for you?
I started working as a freelance photographer in 2010 and I feel really blessed that I am able to combine my skills as an artist and as a professional hair and makeup artist along with my styling together with photography. This is where I belong!
Q: Who inspires you?
I am inspired by everything! People, emotion, fashion, colours, nature, creativity, mind, imagination. The list goes on and on .

I use digital .
Q: Do you prefer to shoot on location or in the studio?
I like to do both .
Q: Do you have a specific style of photography that makes you unique?
