I use photography as a means of expression – I make pictures to identify with hidden qualities one has within, to better understand the reality, and to express the interpretation of the world around me. My goal is to use my camera like a magician’s hat, to open an unexplored world, a place of curious self-expression, but also a world of new relationships, new chances new beginnings and most importantly new stories.

My choice of subject comes from a place of intuition and is fuelled by a desire to make a new way of building story around it. I seek the unknown and I look for the light within the shadows, the stories that are not at first obvious and the uncommon in the common. I photograph people in their environments because I am curious of what lays behind their eyes, where they have been and where they hope to go. I photograph still things to let them speak from where they are, to let them explain what they are. Recently I have begun to work with myself and the nature to find the abstract way of interaction between the two bodies. I like shooting for commercial work as it let me create what i want and let me be free at how i want it.

I am inspired to compose by the contrast of light and dark, while I use the changing light of day to arouse the mood of my dreams. Strangely, colour has appeared in my work, slowly and without intention, concealing the black and white imagery of my past. This colour conjures images of my favourite things.

I like shooting documented work that includes lot of travelling because it helps find you new aura of radiance of energies within other bodies which evolve a pleasure of capturing their souls into the box. More like a hobby each unknown person fills a true feel of being at that place. Shooting commercial work excites me as it helps me get new knowledge and ways to know what are the expectations through which one has to go through and how others desire helps me fulfill my desires of life.
