Founder, creative director, and lead photographer and videographer at Butterfly Studio, based in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

I’m the person behind the camera and the one shaping the creative direction of every shoot. Depending on the project, I work with a trusted<\/strong> team of food stylists<\/strong>, video editors, <\/strong>and production assistants<\/strong> to deliver high-quality, story-driven content.<\/p>\n

I grew up in Riga, Latvia, in a home where food brought people together<\/strong>. My dad would cook big meals for friends and family, and those warm, busy kitchen moments stuck with me. Even now, the smell of spices and herbs takes me right back.<\/p>\n

That connection between food<\/strong>, memory, and emotion<\/strong> is what drives my work. Butterfly Studio<\/strong> is where I combine those roots with my love for visual storytelling\u2014translating everyday things into layered, expressive imagery.<\/p>\n
