What really burn inside of me is the need of taking photographs. It is a way for looking onto a larger world, this connection with the real or created world is what brings the better to yourself.  Photography is not just about making pictures, it is much more about having an emotional relationship with your subject to create something that is reflecting a great part of yourself.  

Taking a photograph is not only a recording or a photographic memory. It should tell something about what you are willing to say and about who you are. Photography is about vision and concepts. A good technical photograph is defintely not enough and can be boring, what is important is the released emotion of a photograph.

My work is mostly conceptual, oscillating between nude photography, staged cinematic storytelling and moments that I capture during journeys and travels. In my vision on photography I avoid image manipulation. There is nothing to add, nothing to change, nothing to transform... at the end the print is the only valid result and signature.  From photographing to print it must be one workflow. From camera to paper... 

For many years I was working for the industry and being frequently published until I decided to make my own work without any compromise.  After more than 40 years of experience in photography I know now and confirm that I'm refusing having any label., photography is photography. I photograph what is triggering, appealing and touching me. Every time I start a project it is starting from a new empty white page.Today I work as an independent art photographer mostly on my own projects.

Vision, creativity and concept are fully imbedded in a continuous photographic process. Inspiration comes with work. The concept is a direct result of constantly looking in a camera and working with the right team and staff. 

There is nothing that you cannot photograph, everything is already there in front of your eyes, it is just matter to see. 

Real photography is unlimited.
