Photography is the medium through which I make sense of the world, untangling my thoughts and giving them life on paper.

Black and white photography - Especially portraiture and street photography.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in quiet alleyways, forgotten villages in the countryside, music, poetry, and even the architecture of the human body. Sometimes inspiration arrives through another medium entirely; a song, a poem, a passing sentence… and transforms itself into an image in my mind. Photography becomes my way of translating those feelings into something visible, like a form of audio-visual synesthesia. I think I’m less interested in taking photographs than I am in preserving atmospheres.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d use it to keep chasing the feeling that first made me pick up a camera: the quiet proof that even the smallest moments are worth remembering.
