Paint Your Portrait

“The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.” – Robert H Schuller

I have always been fascinated by the human anatomy and the way athletes move, especially in kickboxing. At art school I studied anatomy extensively to become a 3D sculptor and I also studied the mechanics of human movement for my focus on animation. I've also always been into a lot of sports and am one of those people who just pick apart every motion, every angle, trying to understand the impact of one motion at a certain angle and speed.

A few years ago my sister competed in body building and told me I should get into fitness photography. At the time I didn't really think about it much or really understood it and how popular it was. Now years later I finally came up with my own style that maybe hopefully I can carry on later down the road.

I've always been inspired by Elena Shumilova for her slice of life and surreal artistic style of photography. Each one of her shot I would describe as a painting. Now years later, I've been getting the same comments from people, describing my work to be like a painting, which makes me fulfilled and accomplished. I'm not quite there yet, but hopefully one day I will reach that mile stone.
