About Me
I have been working as a photographer since 2020. For a long time, I was searching for my own path. I tried different kinds of photography, and slowly I came to believe that there are no bad photographs. I lived by this idea for many years and tried to share it with the people around me.
I wanted to find depth in my images and show the individuality of each person I photographed. I moved away from retouching in Photoshop and began preparing more carefully for every shoot, so I could create the image I wanted during the session itself.
Then I discovered ambrotype, and I knew: this is what I want to do when I grow up.
This way of making a photograph reflects the philosophy I had been searching for. Each portrait is made by hand on glass, and each one is unique. It gives me a way to create images that feel personal and true to the person in front of my camera.
Silver Portraits
Every silver portrait is created by hand using a photographic process from the 19th century. From preparing the glass plate to developing the image, every step happens right before your eyes.
There is no digital camera, no printing, and no second copy. Just light, glass, silver, and time.
The result is a unique, physical photograph — a small piece of art made to be held, treasured, and passed down through generations.
