Capture Connections, Inspire Journeys: A New Chapter Begins

Dear Friends and Fellow Adventurers,

I am thrilled to announce a new chapter in my journey and the evolution of my brand, inspired by a vision to connect more deeply with nature, people, and cultures. My mission is now clearer than ever:

To inspire and empower individuals to find meaningful connections and personal growth by creating and sharing transformative travel experiences, educational workshops, and authentic storytelling through photography and simple living.

For nearly 16 years, I have worked as a photographer and traveled the world for more than a decade, exploring around 50 countries and living in three of them. Through these travels, what truly stood out were the connections I made—both with myself and others. Over the past two years, I took a break from this path to dedicate myself as a life coach, learning invaluable lessons about self-development and personal growth. However, I realized that something was missing—expressing myself through photography, searching for images, and connecting through my craft.

After the pandemic, I embarked on a transformative three-month motorbike trip around Brazil, covering 17,000 kilometers. This journey deepened my connection with my home country and its diverse landscapes. Shortly after, I volunteered in Poland, helping Ukrainian refugees, which led me to Ukraine as a photojournalist during the ongoing conflict. These experiences were profoundly impactful, shaping my desire to help others through my work.

I then decided to live in Bali for two years, working as a life coach. During this time, I learned invaluable lessons about self-development and personal growth. However, I realized that something was missing—expressing myself through photography, searching for images, and connecting through my craft. Now, I am back to my roots, combining my love for photography with my passion for inspiring others.
