About me

As you've probably seen in my pictures, I have a profound love for nature and a deep admiration for the world around us. As a child, I often retreated into my own world, daydreaming and watching Animal Planet, hoping that one day I will be that explorer going on the adventure. While I may not have taken that exact path, I’m seeing my dreams come true in different ways, one by one. Along the way, I've discovered other passions — new ways to celebrate and cherish life.
Work with me
Anything that involves nature, animals, outdoors, arts, or dance - I’m always excited to dive in, be present, immerse myself, and likely snap a photo.
I originally created this website as a personal space to organize and catalog the countless albums from my travels and events. With my programmer mindset, I designed the site’s filtering system and layout to suit my needs—making it easy to access and view the data I cared about. Over time, however, the website evolved into something more. I found a deeper purpose in it: to inspire others to reconnect with nature and cultivate a deeper sense of respect for the world around us.
Passion for photography came so naturally to me during my younger years that I had never paid attention to this growing hobby that today has become such an important part of my life. There are a few key reasons why photography captured my heart. While I see this world so beautiful and mysterious, I’ve felt a strong desire to share that admiration—showing others what I feel about everything around us. In photography, I found a form of expression that felt to me more natural and simpler than words. Later on, dancing came into my life, which became another amazing magical way of expression.
I remember I was using my first camera on film, the family camera, when I was only 13 years old, taking photos of my dog. At 14 years old, my dad bought me my first digital camera, which to me was a miracle. From having only 24 or 36 shots per film, to being able to take 200-300 digital photos only to copy them to the computer and start again… was incredible. Later on I upgraded to a semi-professional camera, since 2009 I’ve owned DSLRs and in 2018 I added mirrorless to my collection.
From nature, wildlife, dog shows, pets to traveling, dancing, hiking, winter sports, I’ve managed to combine them all very well during the years with my passion for photography. Between the ages of 14 and 18, I used to be a photographer at dog shows in Romania and neighbour countries, taking pictures for dog breeders.
Later on, in my early 20s, I started traveling with other landscape photographers to stunning places in the middle of nature, capturing the rural life of Romania and the whole nature across the country.
In 2010, I discovered dancing—a passion that has stayed with me to this day. Since 2015, I’ve been attending Brazilian Zouk dance events, both as a photographer and a dancer. Through this hobby, I’ve connected with an incredible community of people I’ve met at festivals around the world. I truly feel blessed to have found this love for dance, though words will never fully capture the intensity of the moments we experience through it. I can only hope that my photos offer a glimpse into the heaven we’ve found.
The next chapter of my life was all about traveling the world, a dream I’d carried since childhood. In 2019, I quit my job to take a sabbatical year and travel through Asia. Unfortunately, my journey was cut short by the onset of COVID, but I adapted, transitioned to remote work, and eventually became the digital nomad I’ve always envisioned.
In 2021, my passion for dance led me to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil—where I found far more than I ever imagined. I ended up calling this vibrant city my home for nearly three years. Between 2021 and 2024, I grew deeply connected to South America and Brazil, falling in love again with the beauty of nature and becoming increasingly aware of the urgency to protect it.
Now, after years of traveling to fulfill my dreams, my focus has shifted to projects that give back to the world. My recent travels through South America in 2024 reignited my appreciation for the incredible beauty of nature, and my hope for all of us is to reconnect with and protect the magical world that surrounds us.
