My photography is story telling, colorful, imaginative with a playful surreal atmosphere. I want to take people to my creative, imaginative world through my photos.
I specialized in underwater photography. The underwater world has a dreamy atmosphere due to the floating hair, weightlessness, water reflection and air bubbles that make the photos magical.
Some images are taken snorkeling in the shallow water while other photos are taken deep in the ocean with the help of a team of divers.
The laws of gravity don’t apply underwater. This will create a dreamlike atmosphere in the photos.An underwater photo shoot is therefore not comparable to a normal shoot on dry land. Everything works differently during an underwater photo shoot and that is exactly what makes your underwater photo so special.
