I am a freelance photographer and specialize in  assignments where documentary photography will capture the moments that elevate awareness, as well as travel photography where I capture rare images from around the World.

Photography and filming as imaging of the World for me is not just a passion – it is way of life.

My style has been described by critics as "documentary with an arty edge".

My images are dramatic coverage of the most striking events in recent world history with diverse human faces and fortunes. Photography works are well diversified and include images of everything from landscapes of Trans-Himalayas, Bolivian Andean deserts, Tibet and jungles of the lost worlds in Amazonians to indigenous tribes of Papua New Guinea, nomads of Arctic regions, victims of bloody armed conflicts and unique events in the middle of nowhere…
