Travel is my greatest passion. It drives me intensely to explore places, people and ideas which are indissociable to me. Filling my senses and mind as I travel has always brought me great joy. One day though, I discovered that I could share this feeling with others through images and this is why I took on photography. Now, my travel and photography are one because there is no greater reward than seeing the wonder and excitement which I experienced being felt by others. This exactly is why I see myself as a travel photographer. It is the passion, the intensity and the dedication to both travel and photography that push me to it. So far, it has been unofficial, I have never worked as one, yet I am completely ready. While I work as a Software Engineer and web publisher, I have been taking pictures for ten years and am a master of exposure. I compose images with great care and rarely even need to crop images. Most cannot even be cropped because I strive to fill the frame with a cohesive whole. A few years ago, I became independent software consultant to have more chances to travel. It takes long hours of hard work and I you can expect the same from me as a travel photographer!
