Process
How I Work
Each project is shaped through concept, production and final image refinement, combining photography, retouching and CGI where needed.
01
Concept
Each project starts with a clear visual direction. I define mood, lighting, composition and overall image language according to the campaign, subject and brand needs.
02
Production
During production, I focus on controlled lighting, strong composition and efficient execution to create a solid foundation for the final image.
03
Post / CGI
Retouching, compositing and CGI are used where needed to refine the image, solve technical limitations and shape a more precise final result.
