Photographer (Analogue/Digital)
Artist Statement
Photography, for me, begins with all my senses. I approach the world quietly, allowing light, shadow, colour, form, and texture to reveal themselves before I raise the camera. After this sensory immersion, my aim is to capture the moment as truthfully as I can.
My work spans both analogue and digital mediums. Each medium has its own flow and discipline, shaping my creative approach. Whether working with film or pixels, the intent remains the same: to translate what I see and feel into a photograph that is honest, balanced, and timeless.
I am influenced by the masters of light, from photographers such as Ansel Adams to the paintings of the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer. Their sensitivity to light, atmosphere, and quiet presence resonates deeply with how I see the world.
