Are you a therapist?

No, I am not a licensed therapist. As an accomplished photographer, author, filmmaker, fine artist, and director, my vocation is rooted in the rich soil of storytelling and creative expression. With photoSana, I bring this tapestry of artistic disciplines into the corporate realm, providing a sophisticated blend of visual and narrative artistry that fosters individual self-discovery and holistic development. My approach is to harness the evocative power of art to kindle innovation, drive progress, and pave pathways for healing and enrichment that resonate with the strategic ambitions of forward-thinking organizations.

 

Why was photoSana conceived?

photoSana's inception was more organic than strategic. My professional journey as a commercial photographer, filmmaker, writer, artist, director, and mentor over the decades led me to recognize the profound impact of nurturing creativity. Witnessing individuals from diverse walks of life discover their inherent creative prowess and its subsequent positive ramifications on their mental well-being was my inspiration—photoSana endeavors to foster creative and emotional health, culminating in overall personal and professional enrichment.

 

Is photoSana a cure-all?

While not a magical cure, organizations and individuals who immerse themselves in the photoSana journey invariably report enhanced purpose, confidence, connectivity, joy, and satisfaction in their professional and personal spheres.
