PORTFOLIO
I'm a Melbourne-based photographer who blends analogue and digital techniques to tell stories that are close to my heart. My work is shaped by my family heritage, traditions, and personal experiences, exploring themes that feel real and relatable. From fashion and commercial shoots to more personal projects, I aim to capture moments that connect on a deeper level.
I’m interested in how our personal histories and sensory perceptions shape the way we see the world. I use a mix of traditional darkroom methods and modern digital tools to bring these ideas to life, whether it's through exploring the textures of family traditions or the vibrancy of everyday life. My goal is to create images that aren't just about aesthetics but about feeling something real, bridging the gap between my personal journey and the shared human experience.
