Take the time to ask a look on his particular universe...
Tell us about yourself, your hobbies and your other passions.
I am a professional photographer and painter. I love to read and always have a book with me.
How your life stories and experiences affect your photography?
With photography, I would change the real world. So I do not put anything in my life or my experiences in my images. However, photography influenced my worldview.
What are the most important experiences that have influenced your art?
There are many influences, but two stand out. The first is Tim Andrews project. Tim Andrews, a passionate lover of photography,
began a photographic project in which he was the only model. He suffers from Parkinson's disease and invited
over 300 different photographers to take a picture of him over a period of 7 years time. The other major influence
was when I received the qualification MQEP (Master Qualified European Photographer) by the FEP (European Federation
of Photographers). I know that their selection process is very strict. This made me realize that your image has to be perfect to be believable.
What attracted you to photography?
Creativity. I was 20 when I started taking pictures and I'm very attracted to portraits. I tried to see what was
behind the eyes of my model. I wanted to draw theirtrue soul.
Why are you so attracted to the portrait and
creative modification of photography?
My obsession is introspection in photography, while
I can't give up painting. In my creative images, I can
paint and take pictures simultaneously.
What is most important to you, the story behind
your images or technical perfection?
Both. But I realize that I tend to lean towards the
technical perfection. It's in my creative images that I
can achieve it.
What is usually your relationship with your subject beyond being a mere observer?
It must necessarily be a sense. I can't take a picture without it.
Do you prepare carefully places or settings before shooting?
Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Much depends on the time I have. For example, preparation of photographs of
children is not possible, I try to do the best with very little preparation.
