    Biography: Worked in and for 8 countries across the Americas, Africa, and Asia. PhD in Public Health, MSc in Mental Health, Master in Coaching and Mindfulness.

    Aside from portraiture, my photography is inclined toward what I'd like to call "fleeting (in)significance" that captures human-ness, frailty, the reality, the ugly, the sad, and the honest... things that often live far from the spotlight but still deserve to be seen, understood, and even celebrated.

    A shy person who's scared of using a real camera in public.
