My Story

For me photography is a miracle which allows the capture of a moment in time that has long gone, a new movement people I meet, laughter, and the play of light and shadows, amongst other things. Photographs taken are as a time machine allowing me to travel back to days gone by. It is only by being brave, honest and a bit different that you can capture the perfect moment and create unforgettable art.

Photographs offer an endless variety of perception and meaning, so I try not to make too many changes in post production after taking the original picture. To take a good photograph you do not always need the best equipment. More important is the person behind the camera and whoever or whatever is in front of it.

My photography has developed from being a hobby, as friends and colleagues recognised and praised the quality of my work. Although i take great pleasure from my work, I am getting used to criticism, especially as an individual response to any photo is very subjective.There are no limits when taking photos, they are each unique and if we create boundaries we create obstacles as well. Photography is a powerful medium, but under one condition,- it has to be honest.

For a few years now, several of the online portals have published my photos, and I would like to mention Vogue Italy.

I participated in a number of photo exhibitions, and these are just a few:
