Swimming with the wild dolphins was a wonderful and magical experience that touched the very core of my soul. I feel utterly privileged to have experienced these magnificent sentient beings in their own home and on their own terms. The wild dolphins were gracefully moving through the water, swimming inverted. They seemed totally relaxed, almost like in a state of meditation. If you look closely you will see the shape of a heart in the seabed surrounding the couple. In Greek mythology, Pasithea, was one of the Charities (Graces), and the personification of relaxation, meditation.

My vision is to travel the globe on an eternal quest to capture unique moments in time, by creating imagery of our magnificent and fragile planet. Capturing the raw beauty and living energy of Mother Nature with all her natural wonders and beautiful creatures is my inspiration and what I live and crave for. Through the imagery I create I try to reach out to touch the heart and soul of my audience and to open their mind and awareness for the enchanting beauty of the natural wonders in the world that we live in. I welcome you to take part of my journey through the images I create.
