Statement
Photography is a practice for me to understand the role of the fractions of moment within the flow of time. Transmitting thoughts through visual imprints my preferred way of self expression.
I am a creator type photographer. I prefer to plan and control the scene that I see later on my prints.
I am searching for visual poetry.
During the past years, discovering art by realizing and photographing singular art concepts has became a habit of mine. The more I advance in creation the more complex ideas come to my mind and will be photographed. Although complexity is not my main interest in image creation, I often aim to show multiply layers of thoughtfulness.
