Calm and reserved in one portrait. Bold and full of movement in another. Both can be the same person.

I’m a professional photographer based in Riga. What fascinates me most is how much there is to each person — the many moods we express and the stories we carry.

I create individual portraits and photograph families and couples. I plan every photoshoot, from the initial idea to the finished photographs.

Ideas gradually take shape in photographs, which come together as a series with its own mood and character. There is always something new to discover — even with people I’ve photographed many times before.
