About me
My passion for photography kicked off early when I made my first photograph with my Agfa Autostar X-126. When I was seventeen, I received a very special birthday gift from my father, a Fuji Panaroma film camera. Since then, photography has been a passion for me as it gives me the opportunity to bring my vision and emotion to life through a viewfinder. Whether the subject is a person or a beautiful landscape, I do my best to relate my feelings to that specific subject as I press the shutter release button! If you find that my photographs convey a sense of isolation, minimalism, loneliness, darkness and deep feelings, my mission is accomplished!
Depending on the job specification, I shoot with both film and digital medium format cameras! I do believe film has a unique look that is timeless! Moreover, nothings feel like seeing your work for the first time after playing with all chemicals! The few number of photographs make me cherish them more!
Film is not dead and it lives in harmony with digital technology!
