Particularly interested in urban and landscape photography, finding creative and unusual new perspectives as well as uncovering new aspects of things with the help of a lens. Post-processing is done with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

 

Tennis

An important sport for me since a very young age, I’ve been playing competitive Tennis for almost ten years. Since I began my studies the opportunities to pursue this sport have diminished.

 

Music

Musical education played an integral part in my upbringing. I played piano from the age of 8 to the age of 16. Other instruments I played include the trombone and the saxophone, which I have taken up again recently.
