Almost from the moment I picked up a camera, my photographs have been driven by a singular purpose: to tell stories. I strive to capture and share not only my own experiences but also those of the people I encounter, aware of the complexity and challenge inherent in truly conveying another’s truth. This task is inherently problematic, demanding patience, empathy, and an acute sensitivity to detail. To meet this challenge, I approach each shot with deliberate care and assurance, seeking to distill the essence of a moment. Black-and-white photography, in particular, offers a timeless canvas upon which subtle nuances—shadows, light, texture—speak volumes beyond color’s distraction, imparting an elegant and enduring narrative that resonates deeply and authentically.
