My photography fuses visual storytelling with technical precision. I am inspired by the night sky, natural landscapes, and the intricate play of light and color. My work emphasizes both artistic emotion and scientific understanding, using advanced techniques like star tracking and panoramic imaging to capture the unseen beauty of the cosmos.
Teaching is my passion. Through university lectures, workshops, and international juries, I dedicate myself to empowering others to explore photography as both an art and a science. I believe in connecting with people through the shared wonder of the universe and guiding them to see the world—and the sky—with new eyes.
