After years behind the camera working with models, travelers, and creative projects across Europe, Brazil and Australia, I realized that great photography isn’t about expensive gear - it’s about learning to see differently. That’s why I created these workshops: to teach simple techniques anyone can use to turn everyday moments into beautiful, well-composed shots.
