I’m a photographer and retoucher with over five years of experience in portrait, event, studio and food photography. I recently moved to the Netherlands, and this transition opened the door to a new professional chapter. I’m already an established independent specialist: I work confidently in different environments, adapt quickly and take responsibility for the entire process — from concept to final retouching. Now I’m looking for something bigger: new challenges, new teams and new projects where I can apply my experience and expand my professional horizons. Video isn’t my primary field, but I cover the essential needs clients often have — from basic production and shooting to editing and color correction. When required, I’m ready to develop this direction further to offer a more complete visual service.
