A Few Words About the Process 

The process doesn’t end with the shutter click. Once the film is exposed, it must survive the journey home: a step that’s never guaranteed. If it does, I develop each roll by hand, using traditional darkroom chemistry. In college, I built a small darkroom in my apartment and began repairing vintage cameras to deepen my understanding of the medium. Since then, I’ve developed over fifty rolls, learning something new from each one. After development, I digitize each negative using a DSLR scanning rig, allowing me to retain the full detail and dynamic range of the original image. I then prepare the final image for print, adjusting tones, cleaning dust, and fine-tuning the colors while preserving the unique characteristics of the film.

This process is slow, but that’s the point. It allows me to stay connected to the work, to respect the moment it came from, and to ensure that each piece I share is something I’m truly proud of. My hope is that these images bring a bit of that journey into your space, reminding you to slow down, look closer, and appreciate the world, its people, and all of the beauty a little more deeply.

For over five years, I’ve traveled the world to photograph the natural beauty of the landscapes I explore and the people I meet along the way. From the beginning, I chose to shoot on film—a decision that has defined both my style and approach. I continue to work in film because of its timeless character, rich tones, and the discipline it brings to every frame.

Much of my photography is rooted in adventure. Whether I’m deep in the mountains or walking through a foreign city, my goal is always the same: to capture something real. I’ve learned that the best photographs come from forming genuine connections and fully immersing myself in the culture and environment. This is what allows for truly authentic moments.
