I take photos for what?--For joy. For hobby. For ''fulfilling'' emptiness. I don't know. Maybe it's just, I want to add some meaning to my life, to my existence, to express my emotions. Maybe. Maybe I just wished to add something in the world of art, or photography- some wishful thinking only...Maybe I just try find myself through photography. Sometimes it's a joy-sometimes it's a challenge- with myself- sometimes it's a challenge between me and the model..Sometimes it's just a grey noise to fill the empty silence, between the white and black space. I see photography as a tool in search for myself and to express my emotions.

 

My main source of inspiration is music; for me all series of shootings are like music albums or EP's. Rather than chasing for ''hit singles'', I choose to go after a whole ''album'' concept. I try to do something I can not do with music, but using my Nikon D700 instead.

 

Thanks for being here. Even it is a short time.

One of the most impressive photographers on Flickr. An artist of refined sensibility, strong expression and enormous talent. Specialist in female portraiture, but also an excellent landscape painter, painter of details, nature. His female portraits radiate special energy, warmth and affection. His eye wonderfully follows the subtle expressions of emotions, and he achieves that with light, color, framing, composition and something special, unique to him.

for me one of the best portrait photographers I know. He finds the essence of the people he photographs. The people in his photos have a soul and you can see them.
