I am inspired by change makers, peace-makers, movers and Shakers, the great intellects, artists, musicians, scientists, writers, who have advocated for peace and equality. Right now I am particularly inspired by other Photographers, like Eyoalha, Shinichi Maruyama, Chris Thorn, Erica Chan, Karolina Turek, Alan Chan, Dave Hamilton, Mario Testino and last but not least the amazing Martin Prihoda currently shooting in India.

A: Carpe Diem! Seize the Day! My philosophy is to enjoy life, too give and too love fearlessly. Be the Budha. Walk the talk. Lead by example. Be the witness.
Q: Anything in the world?
A: Living a Yogic life. Traveling the world and capturing meaningful and poignant images of places and people. Creating happiness for myself and for others. Sometimes I have to pinch myself, but yes I am making this happen with the support of amazing mentors and friends and family.
