Personal Projects
Other than working on food and product photography, I enjoy exploring different photographic venues with a variety of personal projects.
These projects allow me to experiment with multiple styles and techniques, broadening my artistic vision and enriching my overall photographic skills.
Winner of Food Connects Us 2025
I was thrilled to win the Food Connects Us 2025 photography tournament, organized by Lucia Marecak in her digital magazine dedicated to food and still life photography.
This project was a great satisfaction for me, not only for the recognition I received, but also for the creative journey that led to the final image. I wanted to experiment with something different, creating a lively and playful scene, meticulously crafted down to the smallest details. For this project, I created a composite photo, achieved through technical planning, lighting, and post-production, combining multiple elements into a single, cohesive image.
It was a fun and stimulating project that reminded me how much I love pushing myself, exploring new visual solutions and narrating food in creative and surprising ways.
I love nail art, I've always been drawn to glitter and colorful nails, so I wanted to capture the intricate details of a galaxy-themed manicure. I never worked on nail art photography before, and so it was an exciting challenge to figure out how to make the vibrant and luminous colors stand out. By experimenting with various lighting techniques and backgrounds, I aimed to highlight the sparkling glitter and golden streaks.
The project was a fun and rewarding experience, broadening my skills and sparking new creative ideas.

Travel Photography
I deeply appreciate the opportunity to document my travels through photography. It's a passion that allows me to immerse myself deeply in the nuances of each place, losing myself for hours behind the lens of my camera in search of small details.
For me, photography is not just about capturing beautiful images; it's about capturing those special moments, those precious memories, and unique experiences. It's a privilege to be able to share these visual stories with others, creating connections through images.
