ABOUT ME
BEHIND THE LENS
‘’Why do we take photographs? What should be focused on? Questions occupy my brain. Is it the attraction of looking through the viewfinder at a moving life and its marvellous composition, or something more than that? I couldn't tell you why for sure. What I can tell you is that I really love what I do and I spend a lot of time refining, perfecting and even obsessing over my work... It is a passion.
