These portraits were born from small conversations.

I love creating images that feel natural yet elegant, where personality shows through the way someone looks into the lens, the clothes they chose that morning, or the subtle movement they make without realizing it. Every portrait is less about posing, and more about presence.

These were shot last week, but the stories behind them will stay with me much longer.

In a few weeks, I’ll be heading to Asia for the next 5–6 months to gather new perspectives, inspiration, and stories of my own. ✈️🌏

If you’re dreaming of creating something together, I’m now open for bookings starting mid-week August 2026 onwards.

Let’s turn a simple conversation into something you can keep forever. 🤍📸

Special thanks to my muses:

Love this canvas from @leyli_like maybe too much 🪐💜✨

The remastered version of Spaceballoon was my last published track in 2023. It was also my first ever written "real" song back in 2018. What comes with this sound and its lyrics is more or less a shout for freedom. It's the sound of breaking free from whatever imprisons you. When I wrote this song I tasted true freedom for the first time in my life and it was such an overwhelming experience that it got engraved in my bones never letting go of me and always pushing to feel it as often as possible. Join the Spaceballoon and let go from time to time 🌱

For those who wonder... Spaceballoon for some reason can't be played on Insta... But it's on Spotify and all the other streaming services 🎵
