It always starts as a passion. 

When I began hiking, I found inspiration and a sense of connection in nature. The camera was an extension of that connection. I could review it differently and also share the experience. Then your brain starts the nowayback journey of the search for the compelling image.

The process

I don’t consider myself a landscape photographer. My photographs are more a study of nature and its laws, how light affects our emotions, and how seasons impact our lives. 
Photographing is an exhausting interplay of awareness and intellect, which is a sane connection of the outer and the inner world. The better our ability to connect these two spheres, the more we enjoy time with them. The artist is compelled by exploiting these two qualities. The outcome, photography, is a baked expression of seeing and knowing. 
When people find the same feeling in your photos, it means there is a thread that links our awareness, like transcending a collective consciousness in a kind of spiritual dialogue. That is also the fuel that makes the artist bring new, fresh perspectives. Photography as a frozen moment helps deepening the ways of humankind’s awareness in nature, while these two variables are always moving, changing, and evolving.

Birth of a photograph

I enjoy using the photography medium to create artistic outcomes. Sharing is part of the experience by watching how it moves and affects people. I like bringing fresh energy with new ideas, unusual/experimental composition, natural elements, rich texture, and dynamic scenes.  I look for photographs that create introspection, examination, and insight in different ways. The locations themselves are important in a way that they have to embody some specific identity, like a waterfall or a certain quality that allows me to express meaning with physical properties, volumes, texture, color, and light.

On photography

As the universe has created human beings as observant creatures, the people themselves depend on observing, by probing the world, and the beings of the world, their habits, their motivations, their morals, longings,  and souls, of course, with a camera. Photography allows us to express what we do, how we do it, what species do,  and what the world does, with the intention to understand where we are, and how to move on. This is why photography or any visual art form can have a deep resonance in our being, that overcomes the informational content, and goes straight to our essence, in the quickest way possible. From photography, we learn not only from the images we see but also by teaching us how to understand the multifaceted world we live in.
