My interest in photography stems from a background in science. I was drawn to cameras and film primarily for their ability to faithfully record scenes. That initial fascination soon developed into an avenue for artistic expression.

In recent years the constant search for new subjects to photograph has allowed me to recognize the importance of simple elements, found beneath the surface of everyday scenes, that often exhibit striking characteristics. The challenge lies in identifying and isolating these hidden jewels. My work is focused on creating abstract commentaries on nature. This requires patience and careful observation.
Waiting is very essential of course, but well worth it, when the camera captures the right mood and records a stunning moment in time.
