Inspiration

Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation, the world, supplied the first model. – Giorgio Vasari

Inspired by the words of Vasari and with sensibilities deeply rooted in the fine-arts tradition, my photography aims at reversing the anthropocentric perspective of the art genres to portray the transient and illustrate the interconnectivity of humanity and nature.

Techniques

To capture the ephemeral qualities of a subject and atmosphere of a scene, I use, mostly, a handheld camera. 

My distinct post-processing techniques are used to preserve the authenticity of the subject and scene. This artistic journey seeks to arouse the senses while highlighting the compelling stories that take place in the ordinary world. Each process is inspired by the subject itself and what will best bring it to life.
