My practice is rooted in photography and film, shaped by a dialogue between cinema and classical painting. Working primarily with natural light and analog film, I take the time to observe and compose, allowing each image to emerge through a careful balance of form and emotion. Emptiness, silence, and absence are integral to this process. A space may appear empty, yet retain the presence of those who have inhabited it. Through precise framing, subtle gestures, and the treatment of light, I seek to capture moments suspended where fragility and vulnerability emerge without being imposed upon the image.
Portraiture occupies a central place in my work. I approach the people I photograph through conversation, observation, and time spent alongside them in their everyday environments. The relationship that develops before the camera is as important as the image itself. When working with actors, I introduce a more deliberate direction of gesture and movement, exploring the body as a space of rhythm and expression while leaving room for spontaneity.
My documentary projects grow out of a process of research and immersion. I spend time in a place before photographing it, allowing encounters and relationships to shape my understanding of the people and their surroundings. Rather than approaching a subject with a predetermined narrative, I let the work develop through observation and experience. This extended engagement gives the images their own rhythm, allowing personal histories, collective memory, and the subtle transformations of everyday life to emerge gradually. The photographic form remains inseparable from the human encounters that make it possible.
