I am a fine art photographer with the main focus on landscape, urban, street, as well as, event and travel photography.
I was born in Klaipeda, Lithuania, a beautiful city, on the Baltic Sea coast. When I was a child, I saved for almost a year to buy a camera, which was a very rare and expensive thing to acquire at that time for a kid. I was developing my black-and-white negatives in a bathroom and printed photographs in my room at night.
Since then, I started to take photographs every time I was looking through the viewfinder of the camera, and it became my habit that I have till now.
In 2006, I moved to Dublin, Ireland. In the same year, I bought my first semi-professional digital camera.
I used all my extra money to go on trips around the city, eventually even to different countries. I was always mesmerized and attracted to all the foreign and cultural places I read about in the books or saw on TV, but never could visit. And, after working in fashion and tailoring industry for over twenty years, I began pursuing photography professionally.
Photography has always been and is an extremely important part of my life. I cannot imagine my life without it.
