Photography is my Passion… Photography is my Life…
Light, the essence of photography has always fascinated me. Being an only child and growing up without a father behind the iron curtain shaped my isolated existence. So from an early age I was drawn to the soothing emotions the morning and afternoon light created. Light as such, became my imaginary friend and inspired me to dream with colour and shapes and moods and emotions to flee from life’s harsh realities. My fascination with light turned into a passion at age 15 when I was given my first camera.
Today I still escape into my dreams searching for stillness, harmony and balance to counteract the hustles and bustles of everyday life. Light and shadow, colours and shapes are my tools to create an alternate reality that only exists in the mind. I believe my photographs often reflect the solitude I felt throughout my life, which is represented in my minimalist style. I strive for technically strong images, emerging from my strong desire to accomplish order.
Photography allows me to capture emotions and share it with the world through my vision. I am driven to turn the ordinary into extraordinary by using light, to allow the viewer’s mind to feel from within. I know my work is worthwhile if it evokes a reaction, be it a smile, an inward tear, or a glimpse of hope.
