Photography is the way DL observes, feels, and thinks about the beauty of the world. Photos are the final products of the process.
Hello, I’m DL—a photographer with a deep passion for capturing the world through my lens. My journey in photography spans over two decades, during which I’ve explored the art of observation, feeling, and reflection. For me, photography is more than just a hobby; it’s a way to connect with the world, to pause and appreciate the beauty in the ordinary, and to tell stories through light, composition, and emotion.
With a background in Computer Science and years of experience in related industries, I bring a technical mindset to my creative process. Yet, it’s the timeless allure of film photography that truly resonates with me. I love the tactile experience and the unique character of film, so much so that I often process my digital photos to emulate that classic film look. Whether I’m shooting with digital or film gear, my goal is always to create images that evoke a sense of nostalgia and authenticity.
My camera arsenal reflects my love for precision and craftsmanship. I’m a devoted user of Leica M cameras, which offer a perfect blend of simplicity and excellence, and I’m equally passionate about the compact versatility of Micro Four Thirds (MFT) cameras from Olympus and Panasonic. Fujifilm’s medium format digital cameras are my favorite for portrait photography, of people and flowers. When it comes to lenses, Zeiss optics hold a special place in my heart for their unparalleled sharpness and rendering.
Through this gallery, I invite you to explore my visual journey—a collection of moments captured, emotions preserved, and stories told. Thank you for visiting, and I hope my work inspires you to see the world in a new light.
