As a documentary photographer, I focus on human stories, nature and their relationship with the passage of time. Stories of everyday, ordinary people, of the city I live in. I explore their relationships, and their interaction with their environment. My approach is based on observation and my discreet presence in their space.
I work with natural light and give space for events and people to express themselves spontaneously, bringing out unseen aspects of their lives, allowing the viewer to enter into the stories they tell.
I approach photographically the constant changes in human relationships over time and the environment. I am fascinated by the idea of decay and memory, and how these concepts are expressed through photography. I seek those elements that connect the past to the present through everyday scenes that convey something deeper, more meaningful about the human experience.
