Bio
“Photography came to me as a late revelation. On the threshold of retirement, I chose to devote my time and vision to it fully — not as a new beginning, but as the culmination of a sensitivity that had long existed, quietly and persistently.
My work is rooted in a search for what is essential. Drawn to the strength and restraint of black and white, I turn to color when the subject calls for it. Above all, I seek emotion: a fragile light, an almost imperceptible movement, a suspended atmosphere.
My approach is intuitive. I do not seek to impose a particular reading, but rather to create a space for experience. Each image becomes an invitation — to feel, to interpret, to inhabit the silence it offers.”
