Hello readers. I decided to create an introduction post for those who first time visit my account.

My name is Tim Gallo. I live in Japan for half of my life. I am professional portrait photographer, my main fields are celebrity and artists portrait. I direct, write and sometimes work as an art director.

I practice hinduism, buddhism and christianity and was raised in multi-cultural multi-religion family. I can speak and write in 3 languages somewhat natively(so I apologise for some language mistakes in advance). I love writing prose and essays.
