Photography has always been more than pictures to me — it’s emotion, story, and atmosphere captured in a single frame. I picked up my first camera as an eighteen-year-old living in Malta, and from the very beginning I felt that light was something I could shape, almost like paint on a canvas. That instinct became my path, and years later it has grown into both my art and my profession.
What people don’t always see is the quiet struggle that pushes me forward. Like many artists, I carry my fair share of anxiety and self-doubt, but it has become the fuel for my growth.
Since founding my photography business in 2018, I’ve been fortunate to work on projects that stretch across fashion, editorial, commercial, food, and event photography. From Malta Fashion Week and Charles & Ron to Café del Mar, Zfin Malta, Melita, and Wolt — each collaboration has challenged me to bring precision and imagination together. Twice now, in 2024 and 2025, I’ve been honored with the Best Photographer award at Malta Fashion Week, but recognition has never been the driver — expression has.
I live my creative life on both sides of the camera. Modeling for brands like Eurosport, Jägermeister, Kult Noir, and TRUTH Malta has taught me to understand presence and composition in a different way. When I step back behind the lens, I see not just shapes and shadows but the energy of the person in front of me — and I try to bring that forward in every shot. In many ways, I become both the artist and the muse, because when I photograph myself, I’m simply using my own face and body as another medium to express the emotion I want to capture.
What people don’t always see is the quiet struggle that pushes me forward. Like many artists, I carry my fair share of anxiety and self-doubt, but it has become the fuel for my growth. Every project is a way to challenge those inner voices, to prove to myself that the vision I hold is worth translating into reality. Behind every award and every photograph is simply a woman who is still learning, still questioning, and still fighting to bring her inner world into form.
Collaboration balances that intensity. While solitude sharpens my creativity, working alongside my partner David allows me to approach art with lightness and play. He reminds me not to be so hard on myself, and together we create in a way that feels less like production and more like exploration. He brings out my inner child, and often the results are my most honest work.
Ten years from now, if someone studied my photography like a diary, I hope they would see not only an artist, but a woman who understood what it means to build a life out of creativity. Photography gave me a way to become my own entrepreneur, to create something sustainable while constantly evolving. My work is scattered in places many may not even know are mine — but collectively, I’d like to believe it tells the story of growth, curiosity, and an endless love of light. And through all of it, I remain what I have always been: an anxious artist who loves painting with light, always chasing new ways to merge the world I live in with the one I imagine.
