About

Since my childhood days, I have had a morbid fear of getting photographed. Somehow, no matter how hard I tried, I always looked like Schwarzennegar trying a 700 pound deadlift. Therefore, I soon realized that the safest place for me, during a photography shoot, was behind the camera. :-)

Got an analog SLR in 2002 and moved to digital in 2005. I have been shooting (digital) seriously since then, but I still have so much to learn. I would like to thank my friend and colleague Laurent Fabre from Switzerland for sharing his knowledge and helping me improve my photography. He has been the biggest influence and has provided a great deal of guidance.

Hope viewing these images gives you as much pleasure as I got from shooting them.
