Since childhood I have been attracted by themes of remoteness, solitude and outsiderness and I document on these themes through film photography, cine film and other media which enables me to tell a story. I've never felt comfortable in art environs and art and photography as a whole remains passion without any ambitions. I finance all my journeys, exploring and making with money I earn from mostly working as a support worker and translator. This gives me peace of mind, freedom to do what and how I want and fully enjoy the process.
I live in Shetland islands with my partner and our little daughter.
