My main photographic subjects are the landscapes and the travel photo. I love pictures that are not just visually pleasing but at the same time allow plenty of room for imagination, that have that style and ambience that make the viewers wonder and think over the picture. You feel that there is something substantial under a veil and that it'll remain masked if you don't make an effort. That's the style that I aim at. I recently discovered the joy of using films, medium format and rangefinder cameras and the fineness of classic darkroom printing that give me more creative tools. Currently I'm learning to operate the view camera.

On my working days I concern myself with software and the quality and with why the two don't get along. I try to participate in many challenging projects in this area, but also like to spend time with my two beautiful girls and do long-distance running.
