From Beats to Clicks: My Unexpected Journey from DJ to Photographer

My journey from the DJ booths took an unexpected turn when I landed in Pennsylvania. It was here, amidst its serene landscapes, that I not only found a pause from the beats and rhythms of nightlife but also met my future wife. She shared my newfound curiosity for photography, a hobby we both stumbled upon as we looked for creative outlets beyond our usual routines.

Moving to Chicago together marked the next chapter of our adventure. This bustling city, with its towering skyline and vibrant streets, was a stark contrast to the quiet of Pennsylvania. But it was in this dynamic setting where our shared passion for photography truly took off. Chicago offered us an endless canvas to explore and capture together—from the serene mornings by Lake Michigan to the lively pulse of downtown at night.

Transitioning from life as a DJ to becoming a photographer felt like remixing my own story, but now I had a partner in crime. We swapped late-night gigs for photo walks, mixing tracks for capturing moments. The city, with its distinct seasons and colorful character, became the backdrop to our combined creativity. Each photograph we took was a piece of our shared journey, a silent melody of our lives intertwining.

Harmony between urban life and personal milestones.

So, while I may have left Europe and the DJ scene behind, moving to Chicago with my wife opened up a new realm of possibilities. Photography didn't just become our joint passion; it was a way for us to build our life together, capturing the world through our lenses. Every snapshot is a reminder of how far we've come, from our serendipitous meeting in Pennsylvania to making a home together in the Windy City, all while pursuing the art that brought us closer.
