Who am I?

I am a Romanian journalist living in Dublin, Ireland and I have been a part of the local and international cultural press for the last 12 years. During this time, I wrote and handled concert photography duties for online and print publications such as GoldenPlec, SUNETE, Metropotam.ro and FHM.

 I had the incredible luck of meeting and interviewing great international artists such as Devin Townsend, Riverside, Al Di Meola, Paul Gilbert, Ian Hill of Judas Priest, Anathema, Beth Hart, Andy Jackson (Pink Floyd / David Gilmour's studio engineer), Peter Freestone (Freddie Mercury's personal assistant) & many more. My writing work also includes concert, festival and album reviews, along with extensive editorial pieces about various bands and solo artists chosen for SUNETE cover stories.

As a concert photographer, I had the honour of capturing both local and international live performances of artists such as U2, Bruce Springsteen, John Fogerty, Billy Joel, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets, Bon Jovi, Sting, Demi Lovato, Take That, Sam Smith, Foo Fighters, Seal, Steven Wilson, Mumford&Sons, Dream Theater, Maroon 5, Queen + Adam Lambert, Buena Vista Social Club, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, The Hollywood Vampires, Muse, SIA & many more. 

I am a founding member of the Romanian Concert Photographer's Association (Asociația fotografilor de concerte - #find_us).

I am an accredited photographer for festivals such as Sziget (Budapest, Hungary), Hellfest (Clisson, France), Nova Rock (Nickelsdorf, Austria), Knotfest (Clisson, France), Lollapalooza (Berlin, Germany), Country2Country (Dublin, Ireland), Beatyard (Dublin, Ireland), B'estfest (Bucharest, Romania), Rock the City (Bucharest, Romania), SummerWell (Bucharest, Romania), Artmania (Sibiu, Romania) & many more. I have also spent almost one year (various events in 2016 and 2017) as a guest photographer for Sofar Sounds Bucharest.

Starting December 2018, I am the house photographer for The Ruby Sessions Dublin.

Currently, I am a concert photographer for GoldenPlec Ireland, while maintaining the role of editor and concert photographer for SUNETE (the only Romanian music magazine available in print). 

I am also the senior photographer of the X Collective.

Ireland’s newest artistic support platform, The X Collective encompases over 70 artists and creatives offering a broad spectrum of music industry skills and expertise and it focuses on the promotion of Irish artists and industry creatives.
