Portraits are tricky, especially for a timid guy like me. Timing is the key, being opportunistic helps. I aim for evocative and intimate style, trying to capture the essence of my subjects with a keen eye for emotion and detail. Although I usually prefer natural light, more recently I tend to use a bit of filler light.  

Not much to say. Except I like shooting landscapes, especially in the evenings/night. There is that interplay between light, texture, and form. I won't pretend to be invoking the sublime, but its beautiful. Mostly. 

Shooting interiors/real estate is the most recent genre which I started in 2025 fall, when I married an architect. Still hiking the learning curve, but I'm gradually getting there - that commercial clean look with some pop and realistic color. 

I use flambient technique with minimal flash intervention. 

I work in Flanders and Oslo. 

I approach architecture through cultural prism, I guess a professional hazard, an anthropological acumen. I let my framing let loose and wonder a bit. Like another western tourist gazing into oriental. 

Some moments in life, which is admittedly more boring than the pictures would make you think. Probably my favorite photography category. I wish I was less clumsy and more attuned. Hope this category grows in the future! 

Lighting is the key to jewellery photography. While not my specialty I do love the leather and amber combination. 


Another underapreciated aspect to photographing jewelry is the background: color pallete and tonal balance. It is crucial to nail these so that they complement the form, color balance and contrast of jewely objects in order to achieve a harmonious overall composition.

These are older examples most of which involve camera and editing work. Produced in tight-turn arounds compromising quality. I won't do that anymore.

Cinematic essay exploring the blindspots of Christopher Nolan's treatment of Oppenheimer and my own personal gaze into the oriental. 

My argument—which nearly cost me a friendship—is this: Nolan is outstanding at directing science fiction, especially when he toys with nonlinear timelines, flashbacks, etc. But he failed at the biopic—a genre that typically works better with conventional, act-driven storytelling. More worrying, for cinema and for humanity, is the fact that he failed to grasp Oppenheimer's historical predicament—standing at the forefront of science as it meets and destroys life. Nolan is good at fictionalizing science, but lacks insight into historia—telling a story within the temporal bounds of the human lifeworld. I hope the dilemma is clearer now: the fascination with science breaks with the historical sensibility of human life. The apparent fact that most people don’t miss this is a worrying sign for humanity—and for my friendship with Chaitra.

I am semi-skilled graphic & web designer. Feeling at home in Adobe Illustrator I have design front covers, web design elements such as logos, more creative designs such as craft beer labels.
