"I drifted into photography like one drifts
into prostitution. First I did it to please
myself, then I did it to please my friends,
and eventually I did it for the money."

“Photography is my existence. It defines my every move, shapes every thought,  completes every idea... 
I fell in love with photography while studying structural engineering and architecture, which shaped my aesthetic  empathy towards interiors and design.
On the other hand, my personal favourite genre is documentary photography. Essentially the capturing of un-posed everyday life with the 'ordinary madness' hidden within. 
Be that journalism, document, archival, event or interior photography, I am always  determined to capture the beauty of reality as it unfolds on the front of my eyes.”


I always enjoyed taking portraits. Working with people is challenging but rewarding.
Portrait for me means capturing emotions, reality, interaction
and I like to introduce the moment of surprise in which my subject forgets about the camera, forgets posing...

Documenting the life around me is a pursuit driven by natural curiosity.
I do not mean to break the news headlines, it is more about showing the world as I see it.

Documentary and Street Photography are very close genres of photography that often overlap while both have distinct individual qualities.
Street photography for me is documenting the irony of life.



Shooting in the city often gives great results only because of capturing the given light, architecture, crowd, life...


Interior
My connection to interior design and architecture is most visible here. Often I tend to capture not just beauty of design but also function.
