Hi!

My name is Dom. I was born in Switzerland where my mom, a painter, raised me by herself. My dad lived in Spain, and my grandparents in Germany - so I catched the travel bug at quite a young age. I became fascinated with different places and cultures and still use every chance I get to explore new places. It is quite difficult to persuade your friends to travel to Moscow instead of Mallorca, so I usually just end up taking my camera instead. So far I have visited many places from Russia, Thailand, part of eastern and all of western Europe and the US. About 2 and a half years ago I ended up staying in LA. I started as a Job as a PA to a fashion designer, which recently required me to move to Paris. I love Paris, and I am already pretty fluent in French, next to English and German. But regardless of how beautiful and inspiring I find Paris, I miss Los Angeles a great deal and I would like to take this chance to introduce you to that fascinating city with its endless facades. I have been obsessed with photography ever since i can remember and I am fortunate that my job gives me enough free time to go out and shoot anything form headshot for friends, celebrities and landscapes.
