Metamorphosis

We all start somewhere more or less in the same manner and we all finish at the same place more or less in the same manner.

Although we can't change where we come from, we can definitely decide who we want to be and where we want to go.
As my very good friend Boris says, "Its the process that counts".
I was born on one continent, lived and studied on another one and worked on three different ones.
I am a Nomad by definition, a scientist by education (Msc.in cell biology), an artist for the rich and uncreative side of my family (the perfect excuse to ignore my existence), a humanist (not too difficult when we look around us), a romantic at heart, a story teller and a professional photographer by choice.
By choice?...What else could I do? I drink, eat, breathe and sleep photography.
I became an editorial photographer, than an an award winning advertising photographer. Yep, clients pay me the big bucks to execute the concepts of award winning or sometimes frustrated art directors (sorry guys). Its called commissioned work. I always added a "je ne sais quoi" to these images; my own style and vision. Everybody wins!
About two years ago, I suffered an emotional trauma.
Actually, I was living with one for ten years without even knowing it.
As all traumas do, it triggered a change; a metamorphosis.
I started traveling and shooting for myself, for stock, and a book.
It made me realize how much baggage I had as a photographer and how much I love sharing my knowledge, inspiration and creativity not only as a photographer but mostly as a human being using photography as a channel of creative expression.
I hope that my writing skills are good enough to express and share my journey with you, and that you enjoy it in one way or another..
