My photography starts with people — their gestures, their vulnerability, their rituals — and moves outward from there.
In my street and documentary work, I'm drawn to moments of community and joy, or to that quiet instant in a crowd that somehow carries its own weight. In my art-nude work, the body is not there for shock or display, but as a form stripped back to something more essential — an invitation to look and reflect. My conceptual work takes a different approach: found objects, unexpected pairings, and compositional tension is used to trigger hidden meanings and emotional undercurrents. And through my "songs" series, I follow the thread from music — melody, rhythm, a particular lyric — into images. Across all of it, I try to find a balance between intimacy and distance. Close enough to feel real, but strange enough to stay with you. I don't want viewers to simply see what I saw — I want them to find something of their own in these series. Whatever the setting, I try to make images that speak for themselves, and reward those who look twice. I was honored to be chosen as a finalist in the 2019 Ed van der Elsken "Lust for Life" competition, organized by the Netherlands Fotomuseum. My own "lust for life" is the unseen driver of many of these images. A catalogue with a complete listing of the series posted on this site can be downloaded here.
