If you weren’t a photographer, what would you be doing?
Besides photography, one of my biggest passions is architecture. I’m a big enthusiast of Modernism and Bauhaus, and they are a great source of inspiration for my work. I find many similarities between photography and architecture in how they work with light, proportions, shapes, and the emotions they evoke. So yes – architecture feels like the most natural alternate path.
What has been your favourite piece of work that you have made recently?
Oh, it’s impossible to choose just one. I have the pleasure of working with insanely creative and beautiful people – inside and out – and every photo shoot is a completely different story and an exchange of energy and emotions. Fashion editorials, where your creativity can be in full charge, definitely have a special place in my heart.
What is something about photography that you don’t like and something that you love?
I love the synergy on set – the creative conversations, the shared ideas, the spark that happens when everyone is fully present. That collaborative energy is everything to me. As much as I appreciate the freedom you have as a freelance photographer, the unpredictability that comes with this profession is always a bit of a challenge for me.
What would your dream camera kit be?
For me, fashion photography is driven by ideas, concepts, and light. The camera is just an instrument that helps translate what I already see in my imagination. So my dream “kit” is less about gear and more about having the space to create strong visual stories.
What are you currently working on?
I’m working on a series of on-location editorials. I love the studio – and HotCold Studio especially – but I’m obsessed with the raw, striking beauty of the UAE’s landscapes. They have a certain quiet drama I can’t resist. I can’t wait to share what we’ve been creating.
Who are you currently drawing inspiration from?
The recent fashion season (SS26) was a major reset – new creative directors, fresh aesthetics, and bold new directions from the industry’s biggest brands. Watching that shift unfold has been incredibly inspiring.
Beyond fashion, I always return to modern art – painting and sculpture especially. I recently spent time in Venice, and visiting the Peggy Guggenheim Museum and the Pinault Collection at Palazzo Grassi left me buzzing with ideas.
What Is something surprising about your photography journey, somewhere you didn’t think photography would take you?
When I started my professional career at 19, I just wanted to create beautiful pictures with an amazing people. I wasn’t even thinking that I would end up traveling to so many incredible places and working with such a great brands. Maybe it’s not so surprising to me now, but every new project still brings that same sense of excitement and curiosity. And honestly, that feeling is the best part of what I do.
