I am a documentary storyteller and visual artist of Latvian origin, currently based in the UK’s capital.Recent graduate from BA Photographic Arts at the University of Westminster, I work as a freelance photographer, specializing in reportage and portraiture.
Both my visual and written work has appeared in numerous national and international publications and has been exhibited in the UK and abroad.
