For more than fifteen years, I’ve used photography as a way of paying attention — to light, to place, and to the quiet transitions that shape the world around me. My work is rooted in movement: walking coastlines, wandering cities, returning to familiar spaces at unfamiliar hours. What emerges from this practice isn’t a search for spectacle, but a steady commitment to noticing what most people pass by.
My photographs often sit at the intersection of stillness and motion. Landscapes, seascapes, and urban environments become studies in atmosphere, color, and the subtle tension between permanence and change. A shift in weather, a fleeting shadow, a moment of balance before everything moves again — these are the small events that anchor my images.
The Top 100 Journey, my long‑term retrospective project, reflects the evolution of this way of seeing. Spanning years of work, it gathers one hundred photographs that mark turning points in my creative development. Some images represent technical breakthroughs; others capture emotional or environmental moments that reshaped my understanding of place. Together, they form a map of a photographer learning to trust his instincts, refine his craft, and remain open to the unexpected.
At its core, my work is an invitation to slow down. To look closer. To recognize the meaningful within the ordinary. My photographs are less about documenting the world and more about creating space for reflection — a reminder that even the quietest moments carry their own weight and beauty.
