Showcase & Discover Creative Work

“In life when we look at sexuality as a dirty deviant behavior, it’s a reflection on our own cultural and emotional barriers.
As we keep growing and evolving we realize those constructs are flawed and preconceived. It’s an opportunity that allows us to enhance our lives with more than carnal delight, and transcend from pornography to the divine .
From a distance, SEX is just another word for Spirituality.
Most of my pictures are a combination of sexuality and raw colors mixed with a total lack of respect for photography rules, meaning that the pictures I take correspond to an intimate, chaotic, and in my perspective, more natural look at individuals. All pictures are made with people who have an active part in my life(friends), whom I thank for opening up the window of their private life and allow me recreate a prejudice free perspective on real life.
