Waiting for the light

A short account of how I work and where.

I photograph buildings, objects and the people who live among them. Most of my work begins with waiting: for the light to fall a certain way across a wall, for a room to empty, for a gesture to settle. I shoot medium format because it slows me down.

Fifteen years in, I still work the way I did at the start — one camera, available light, no crew. Clients come to me for stillness. I split my year between Beirut, where I grew up, and Lisbon, where the winter light is kinder.

Portrait in the studio — Studio, Lisbon — 2026

Three kinds of commission

Most projects fall into one of these. Anything that does not, ask.

Editorial

Magazines & press

Features, profiles and cover work for print and digital titles. I shoot the story, not just the subject — and I deliver a sequence you can lay out, not a folder of options.

Architecture

Studios & developers

Interiors and exteriors photographed across a full day so a space is seen in the light it actually gets. Careful verticals, minimal staging, no composite skies.

Still life

Brands & makers

Objects shot on plaster, stone and linen with hard directional light. Built for slow catalogues and considered launches rather than fast-turnaround product grids.
