If I were born today, I would definitely be diagnosed with ADHD. But back in 1988, I was simply seen as a creative kid with boundless energy. My parents, being brainiacs, understood that as long as they managed to steer me away from trouble (no focus), I had the ability to hyperfocus.

Days flew by with playing basketball, skateboarding, writing poetry, drawing, and playing guitar. When they handed me my first camera at 14, I never looked back. I had no problem immersing myself in photography for entire days. Every day. Hyper-focused. My professional career began at 15, covering sports for local newspapers. After studying photography at Pallas University and winning Estonia’s Sports Photo of the Year three times in a row, I decided to pursue an international career.

Since then, I have worked for Getty Images in Australia, Germany and Spain. Covering major sporting events around the World (Olympics, FIFA World Cups, UEFA Champions League finals, ISU World Championships etc). I have been lucky to shoot various assignments via Getty Images for IOC, FIFA, UEFA, NHL, ISU, IAAF, Riot Games and brands like Nike, Adidas, Deloitte, Pepsico, Heineken, FedEx to name a few. My work has been published in numerous publications including Sports Illustrated, Time, People, Vogue, L’Equipe, Die Welt, and the New York Times among others.

All of that might make me sound really impressive, but the truth is, I just love the beauty of photons reflecting off different objects and angles. The cameras are merely tools to record what I see. When I’m not capturing photons with my camera, I am playing golf, fishing, hiking, educating myself and just admiring the beauty of light and shadow.
