Currently based in Sydney, Australia, I split my time between research, university teaching and photography.
On my way towards PhD in behavioral economics, bringing together Psychology and Economics.
I've been selling my photos online for 7 years now - starting this side gig was one of my best decisions. Ever since, my cameras and lenses pay for themselves, and for my flight tickets. I'm excited to share with you, how you can do the same!
I also love exploring new and exciting way of taking photos and am a big fan of DIY photography gear. Home-made pinholes, tilt-shift lenses, underwater photoshoot in the living room? You bet!
