I grew up in a home surrounded by art, where photography equipment felt like fascinating toys waiting to be explored. In 2002, I had the privilege of joining my late father in his photo laboratory and studio, learning hands-on from him while deepening my own studies in photography. After earning a professional diploma from the New York Institute of Photography in 2008, I spent over a decade working in the arts and culture field, later freelancing with a variety of establishments—all while nurturing my personal artistic practice in visual arts. Today, I am based in Berlin, continuing my creative journey while running a small photography services business in Dubai.
