  • Defining secluded luxury 💎  Using aerial photography allows me to tell the full story of this amazing property in Paxos, Ionian Islands. It’s about more than just the architecture—it’s about the villa’s relationship with the landscape.  For this shoot, the goal was to showcase the absolute privacy of the estate while highlighting its seamless connection to those crystal-clear private coves and the beach.

  • Usually, my job is to make a place look better than it is. 
At Fregate Island, Seychelles, that was not the case. There’s a specific kind of serenity you find when nature is this untouched. It’s a ‘pearl’ in every sense, rare and breathtaking. I left a piece of my heart on those white sands, and I think these frames show why.
