Artist's Statement

As an artist, I draw inspiration from Anais Nin's words to unveil the unseen aspects of life.

My preferred medium for expressing these insights is social documentary photography. When capturing candid street scenes or engaging in documentary projects, I adhere to the principles of 'straight photography.' This means minimal digital manipulation, limited to essential adjustments like converting to black-and-white, cropping, removing dust spots, or adjusting exposure.

I aim to present an objective portrayal of the world as I see it, avoiding embellishments or omissions. Yet, I acknowledge that even these efforts are subjective as I select what to include within the frame and where to direct the viewer's focus.

To complement this documentary approach, I also create fine art images. In this realm, I embrace the full range of editing tools to achieve artistic expression, including altering elements and manipulating color for stylistic impact.

Through both documentary and fine art photography, I endeavor to offer nuanced perspectives on the world around us.
