ABOUT
Vision
The intimate is at the heart of my approach.
“My photographic experience has shown me that it is the encounter, the circumstances, and being receptive to what appears, which makes the magic happen and allows the unexpected reveal itself.
My priority is to show the inexpressible, to get to the essential. I can only imagine this approach with patience, with respect for the other and for humanity. My relation with the subject is as important as telling the story.”
