Most memorable shoot so far?

Every time I take my camera it 's a great pleasure actually, but as a freestyle photographer,its the moment when you're about to take a photo and you understand that you got the chance to be in the right time at the right place...

Dream Project for you?

I'm about to realize it ! I'm going to make a one year trip through Asia, South America, Australia and maybe other countries. My playground will be just untrammeled....

Challenges of what you do?

Being a witness of the life around me and keeping that passion free and always lighted up catching it !!! This trip will definitely bring me a lot...
