Hi there and thanks so much for stopping by!

STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHS
“Amateur Professionalism”, a concept used since 2004, describes an emerging sociological and economic trend of people pursuing amateur activities to professional standards. That pretty much describes, how I look at my photography work today.
