I always like it when people share their stories, so here is mine:

As a child, I spent some good moments in the darkroom. My father was passionate about photography and passed this interest on to my brother and me. I can still remember waiting impatiently for the paper to be filled with spots of shades of grey, arranged to form someone's face. And the dust. That non-perfect, yet finished photograph. I try to carry over the feelings connected with analog photography that I had back then into my work with a mirrorless camera. In black-and-white photography, I focus on the rich greyscale, the light that emphasises emotions on faces and bodies or shapes in street photography. One makes the most of that one frame by focusing on fewer images. We start to notice the composition and treat the camera as a link between reality and the eye. And as Cartier-Bresson used to say, we aim to look for the decisive moment. No doubles. Just like in life, right? In the beginning, I took an innocent, occasional approach. Now, along with dancing, photography is part of me and whenever I have the opportunity I try to spend my free time photographing.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

I am interested in documenting; when no one realizes or sees that they occur through the lens. Then people can't hide anything - the body language yells, emotions on their faces are not faked. As I’m highly influenced by street photography, I want to implement two major elements when it comes to portraits: momentum & spontaneity. Momentum means establishing a friendly connection, meaning you are truly yourself when taking the shots without forcing a certain atmosphere - I want you to feel at ease. Spontaneity represents the art of responding to your situational ideas or suggestions. Portraits are not made, they evolve through the collaboration of me and you; you are equally important for achieving the perfect shot.
