About Me.
There is an almost primordial magnetism that we all feel when listening to someone telling a good story. It’s the simplest form of entertainment, and no matter how much it is dressed up through flamboyant or dramatic embellishments, nothing can replace the rudimental tenets of what makes a story engaging, illuminating, and ultimately, worth telling. So naturally, reading and writing were two of my favourite pastimes.
​
The best stories are usually the ones that display an aspect of our lives that we can relate to, but quite often in scenarios that we could never conceive. Humans are the cornerstone of stories, and a photograph gives us a chance to capture what would otherwise have been an ephemeral or fleeting moment. It is a concretisation of our expression, from the composition and colours of the images to the atmosphere of the story through the camera. There is no other activity that allows me to express myself artistically and to capture the essence of our collective humanness than this field.
