As a photographer and a writer, I am a contributor to the journal “Literature and Art”. In partnership with NGO Lithuanian Disability Forum, we presented an exhibition “Motherhood: When the Need for Help Doesn't Get in the Way of Love”. The project was widely featured in Lithuanian media. Most recently, the exhibition, which delves into the heartfelt stories of mothers with various disabilities, was showcased at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City (June 2025).

Being a guy with a camera I tend to explore visual storytelling, which blends unorthodox and emotional perspectives into sensitive or very personal themes. I love shooting kids & families, artists, music gigs, and performances. I have also covered ATP and WTA professional tennis tournaments in Warsaw and Vilnius.

"You press that button of a camera, you're saying, YES. Yes, I saw that! Yes, I want that! Yes to life", says the legendary photographer Joel Meyerowitz.

There are a billion ways of saying YES, so let’s play!
