About
As a social urban street photographer I go to places which however alien, connect in some way with what I’m searching for, what I want to see and want to understand. I look for anything that catches my eye. I look for those almost missed scenes of brief time that are born each day and night everywhere. I want each image to convey its own story, its own characters, personalities, its own human drama, joy and woes.
Photography is a great love for me. It forces me to be quick to recognize the potential in a scene, to be dauntless and make no concessions as I challenge myself to understand the reality of life. My style of shooting is not to intrude, compose or choreograph any of my images because these images already exist outside my intentions.
