I have started photographing when I was about 9 years old and I have been doing so since then. Having spent many years of my life in various countries, I've had a lot of opportunities to shoot in different geographical and cultural environments and to develop my vision as a photographer.

My photographs are mostly the result of an intent and the careful preparation and execution that goes with it. This intent and/or idea can be a long term project (such as my portals series) or it can come up spontaneously while I am shooting on location. Based on the idea I have in mind, I compose my photographs as carefully as possible in the viewfinder. My job is not finished when the picture is taken. I meticulously fine-tune the pictures in the post processing in order to achieve the best possible results either on print or on screen. I usually try to avoid excessive image manipulations and/or AI related techniques, although sometimes I use all the available tools in my palette if the image requires it. After all, I am not a photo journalist but an artist in charge of creating his own art as he sees fit.

The resulting photograph should convey its message successfully without the need for a specific explanation but there must be some statement of intent for series/projects and fine art photos. The image should be able to evoke some emotions in the viewer. It should also do justice to its subject. When all this comes together, it will be a good image for me.

I am drawn towards certain areas of photography such as street, urban scenes, landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, industry, man-made and natural objects, history, culture and last, but not least, people.
