"I have a special affection for portraits and have, therefore, produced an extensive series of them. Genuine smiles, emotions, and people’s stories attract me the most. I want to capture the purest of emotions in my photographs. I also occasionally feel inspired by other subjects and compositions and try not to limit my creative instincts. I also do street life and travel photography. I seek to discover and photograph that which is unseen by me or others. Therefore, I find myself becoming an explorer with a powerful desire to travel."
"Before every single photo I take, I spend a good amount of time with the people. I try to get as close as possible to them. I try to become one of them or at least be accepted in their presence. Only after that do I start taking photos. I take simple images primarily of people. I try to portray images with simplicity, reflecting a soulful mood and deep human connection. In addition to the uncomplicated composition, the people whom I photograph are wonderful and brave souls. I believe that this is what sets my work apart from others."
"I love meeting people. In every area, people look and behave differently. Their faces and their stories motivate me a great deal. Every face I encounter inspires me to meet another person. I am mainly more fascinated by interactions with people than I am with photography of landscapes or places. Photography has given me the opportunities to capture those incredible faces, express their feelings, and to share with others. That being said, I still am close to nature and the environment and find images that also inspire me to get out my camera. I love images that look authentic and with which you feel connected. I love images that surprise me, making me feel something, whether that be a sense of place or emotion. With empathy, compassion, and love, we can change the world for the better as artists. I am a positive person who sees beauty in everything."
