Biography
As an human witness in this world, using
photography as my medium and the documentary method as my foundation I try to interpret my world and the feelings it inspires within me through photographic images.
I am dealing with intimate issues concerning fragmentation and the bonds of family.
Also in my foreign work I am looking for changes in the environment of peoples lives and trying to also expose the contradictions we are faced with daily from the media in the news saturated world of today.
Hopefully without cliché’s, pretension and naivety I am dealing with the loves,hopes,desires,passions and sadness we all face as human beings visualised as my own experience's of places, people and journeys; produced as a pure a photographic document I can ever aspire to produce.
